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

Spiramycins are clinically important 16-member macrolide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces ambofaciens. Biosynthetic studies have established that the earliest lactonic intermediate in spiramycin biosynthesis, the macrolactone platenolide I, is synthesized by a type I modular polyketide synthase (PKS). Platenolide I then undergoes a series of post-PKS tailoring reactions yielding the final products, spiramycins I, II, and III. We recently characterized the post-PKS glycosylation steps of spiramycin biosynthesis in S. ambofaciens. We showed that three glycosyltransferases, Srm5, Srm29, and Srm38, catalyze the successive attachment of the three carbohydrates mycaminose, forosamine, and mycarose, respectively, with the help of two auxiliary proteins, Srm6 and Srm28. However, the enzymes responsible for the other tailoring steps, namely, the C-19 methyl group oxidation, the C-9 keto group reduction, and the C-3 hydroxyl group acylation, as well as the timing of the post-PKS tailoring reactions, remained to be established. In this study, we show that Srm13, a cytochrome P450, catalyzes the oxidation of the C-19 methyl group into a formyl group and that Srm26 catalyzes the reduction of the C-9 keto group, and we propose a timeline for spiramycin-biosynthetic post-PKS tailoring reactions.
