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

A description of pyrrolo[1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) biosynthesis is a prerequisite for engineering production of analogs with enhanced antitumor activity. Predicted dioxygenases Orf12 and SibV associated with dihydropyrrole biosynthesis in PBDs anthramycin and sibiromycin, respectively, were expressed and purified for activity studies. UV-visible spectroscopy revealed that these enzymes catalyze the regiospecific 2,3-extradiol dioxygenation of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) to form l-2,3-secodopa (λmax=368 nm). (1)H NMR spectroscopy indicates that l-2,3-secodopa cyclizes into the α-keto acid tautomer of l-4-(2-oxo-3-butenoic-acid)-4,5-dihydropyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (λmax=414 nm). Thus, the dioxygenases are key for establishing the scaffold of the dihydropyrrole moiety. Kinetic studies suggest the dioxygenase product is relatively labile and is likely consumed rapidly by subsequent biosynthetic steps. The enzymatic product and dimeric state of these dioxygenases are conserved in dioxygenases involved in dihydropyrrole and pyrrolidine biosynthesis within both PBD and non-PBD pathways.
