Aspartate aminotransferase: an old dog teaches new tricks.
Review in Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 62 papers.
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.
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
Aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) is a prototypical pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible interconversion of l-aspartate and α-ketoglutarate with oxalacetate and l-glutamate via a ping-pong catalytic cycle in which the pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate enzyme form is an intermediate. There is a bountiful literature on AAT that spans approximately 60years, and much fundamental mechanistic information on PLP dependent reactions has been gained from its study. Here, we review our recent work on AAT, where we again used it as a test bed for fundamental concepts in PLP chemistry. First, we discuss the role that coenzyme protonation state plays in controlling reaction specificity, then ground state destabilization via hyperconjugation in the external aldimine intermediate is examined. The third topic is light enhancement of catalysis of Cα-H deprotonation by PLP in solution and in AAT, which occurs through a triplet state of the external aldimine intermediate. Lastly, we consider recent advances in our analyses of enzyme multiple sequence alignments for the purpose of predicting mutations that are required to interconvert structurally similar but catalytically distinct enzymes, and the application of our program JANUS to the conversion of AAT into tyrosine aminotransferase.
