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 high G+C content and large genome size make the sequencing and assembly of Streptomyces genomes more difficult than for other bacteria. Many pharmaceutically important natural products are synthesized by modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) and nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). The analysis of such gene clusters is difficult if the genome sequence is not of the highest quality, because clusters can be distributed over several contigs, and sequencing errors can introduce apparent frameshifts into the large PKS and NRPS proteins. An additional problem is that the modular nature of the clusters results in the presence of imperfect repeats, which may cause assembly errors. The genome sequence of Streptomyces tsukubaensis NRRL18488 was scanned for potential PKS and NRPS modular clusters. A phylogenetic approach was used to identify multiple contigs belonging to the same cluster. Four PKS clusters and six NRPS clusters were identified. Contigs containing cluster sequences were analyzed in detail by using the ClustScan program, which suggested the order and orientation of the contigs. The sequencing of the appropriate PCR products confirmed the ordering and allowed the correction of apparent frameshifts resulting from sequencing errors. The product chemistry of such correctly assembled clusters could also be predicted. The analysis of one PKS cluster showed that it should produce a bafilomycin-like compound, and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was used to show that the cluster was transcribed.
