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

The first four enzymes of the bacilysin antibiotic pathway, BacABGF, convert prephenate to a tetrahydrotyrosine (H(4)Tyr) diastereomer on the way to the anticapsin warhead of the dipeptide antibiotic. BacB takes the BacA product endocyclic-Δ(4),Δ(8)-7R-dihydrohydroxyphenylpyruvate (en-H(2)HPP) and generates a mixture of 3E- and 3Z-olefins of the exocyclic-Δ(3),Δ(5)-dihydrohydroxyphenylpyruvate (ex-H(2)HPP). The NADH-utilizing BacG then catalyzes a conjugate reduction, adding a pro-S hydride equivalent to C(4) to yield tetrahydrohydroxyphenylpyruvate (H(4)HPP), a transamination away (via BacF) from 2S-H(4)Tyr. Incubations of the pathway enzymes in D(2)O yield deuterium incorporation at C(8) from BacA and then C(9) from BacB action. By (1)H NMR analysis of samples of H(4)Tyr, the stereochemistry at C(4), C(8), and C(9) can be assigned. BacG (followed by BacF) converts 3E-ex-H(2)HPP to 2S,4R,7R-H(4)Tyr. The 3Z isomer is instead reduced and transaminated to the opposite diastereomer at C(4), 2S,4S,7R-H(4)Tyr. Given that bacilysin has the 2S,4S stereochemistry in its anticapsin moiety, it is likely that the 2S,4S-H(4)Tyr is the diastereomer "on pathway". NMR determination of the stereochemistry of the CHD samples at C(8) and C(9) allows assignment of all stereogenic centers (except C(3)) in this unusual tetrahydro-aromatic amino acid building block, giving insights into and constraints on the BacA, BacB, and BacG mechanisms.
