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

Bacteria of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) have emerged as important opportunistic pathogens, establishing lung infections in immunocompromised or cystic fibrosis patients. Bcc uses polysaccharide-biofilm production in order to evade the host immune response. The biofilm precursor UDP-glucuronic acid is produced by a twofold NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of UDP-glucose. In B. cepacia IST408 this enzymatic reaction is performed by the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase BceC, a 470-residue enzyme, the production and crystallization of which are described here. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and contained four molecules in the asymmetric unit. Their crystallographic analysis at 2.09 A resolution and a molecular-replacement study are reported.
