A novel glucose 6-phosphate isomerase from Listeria monocytogenes.
Article in The protein journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
D-Arabinose 5-phosphate isomerases (APIs) catalyze the interconversion of D-ribulose 5-phosphate and D-arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P). A5P is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (Kdo), an essential component of lipopolysaccharide, the lipopolysaccharide found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The genome of the Gram-positive pathogen Listeria monocytogenes contains a gene encoding a putative sugar isomerase domain API, Q723E8, with significant similarity to c3406, the only one of four APIs from Escherichia coli CFT073 that lacks a cystathionine-β-synthase domain. However, L. monocytogenes lacks genes encoding any of the other enzymes of the Kdo biosynthesis pathway. Realizing that the discovery of an API in a Gram-positive bacterium could provide insight into an alternate physiological role of A5P in the cell, we prepared and purified recombinant Q723E8. We found that Q723E8 does not possess API activity, but instead is a novel GPI (D-glucose 6-phosphate isomerase). However, the GPI activity of Q723E8 is weak compared with previously described GPIS. L. monocytogenes contains an ortholog of the well-studied two-domain bacterial GPI, so this maybe redundant. Based on this evidence glucose utilization is likely not the primary physiological role of Q723E8.
