1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We have characterized cytochromes P450, CYP710A13, and CYP710A14, as the sterol C22-desaturase in the moss Physcomitrella patens. GC-MS analyses demonstrated that P. patens accumulated stigmasterol as the major sterol (56-60% of total sterol) and sitosterol to a lesser extent (8-12%); this sterol profile contrasts with those in higher plants accumulating stigmasterol as a minor component. Recombinant CYP710A13 and CYP710A14 proteins prepared using a baculovirus/insect cell system exhibited the C22-desaturase activity with beta-sitosterol to produce stigmasterol, while campesterol and 24-epi-campesterol were not accepted as the substrates. The K(m) values for beta-sitosterol of CYP710A13 (1.0 +/- 0.043 microM) and CYP710A14 (2.1 +/- 0.17 microM) were at comparable levels of those reported with higher plant CYP710A proteins. In Arabidopsis T87 cells over-expressing CYP710A14, stigmasterol contents reached a level 20- to 72-fold higher than those in the basal level of T87 cells, confirming the C22-desaturase activity of this P450 enzyme. The occurrence of the end-products together with the enzymes involved in the last step of the pathway substantiated the presence of an entire sterol biosynthetic pathway in P. patens, providing evidence for the conservation of the sterol biosynthetic pathway through the evolutionary process of land plants.
