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

In vitro glycorandomization is a powerful strategy to alter the glycosylation patterns of natural products and small molecule therapeutics. Yet, such in vitro methods are often difficult to scale and can be costly given the requirement to provide various nucleotides and cofactors. Here, we report the construction of several recombinant E. coli prototype strains that allow the facile production of a range of small molecule glycosides. This strategy relies on the engineered promiscuity of three key enzymes, an anomeric kinase, a sugar-1-phosphate nucleotidyltransferase, and a glycosyltransferase, as well as the ability of diverse small molecules to freely enter E. coli. Subsequently, this work is the first demonstration of "in vivo glycorandomization" and offers vast combinatorial potential by simple fermentation.
