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

3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) is an eight-carbon sugar ubiquitous in Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Although its biosynthesis is well described, no protein has yet been identified as a Kdo hydrolase. However, Kdo hydrolase enzymatic activity has been detected in membranes of Helicobacter pylori and Francisella tularensis and may be responsible for the removal of side-chain Kdo from the LPS core saccharides. We now report the identification of genes encoding a Kdo hydrolase in F. tularensis Schu S4 and live vaccine strain strains, in H. pylori 26695 strain and in Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia 1 strain. We have renamed the genes kdhA for keto-deoxyoctulosonate hydrolase A. Deletion of kdhA abolished Kdo hydrolase activity in membranes of F. tularensis live vaccine strain. The F. tularensis kdhA mutant synthesized a core oligosaccharide containing a Kdo disaccharide with one of the Kdo residues being a terminal side chain. This side-chain Kdo monosaccharide was absent in the wild-type core oligosaccharide. Expression in Escherichia coli of recombinant KdhA from F. tularensis, H. pylori, and L. pneumophila resulted in a reduction of membrane-associated side-chain Kdo. The identification of this previously faceless enzyme will accelerate study of the biosynthetic basis and biologic impact for postbiosynthetic LPS structural modification.
