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

Peptide-derived natural products are a class of metabolites that afford the producing organism a selective advantage over other organisms in their biological niche. While the polypeptide antibiotics produced by the nonribosomal polypeptide synthetases (NRPS) are the most widely recognized, the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are an emerging group of natural products with diverse structures and biological functions. Both the NRPS derived peptides and the RiPPs undergo extensive post-translational modifications to produce structural diversity. Here we report the first characterization of the six cysteines in forty-five (SCIFF) [Haft, D. H. and Basu M. K. (2011) J. Bacteriol. 193, 2745-2755] peptide maturase Tte1186, which is a member of the radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) superfamily. Tte1186 catalyzes the formation of a thioether cross-link in the peptide Tte1186a encoded by an orf located upstream of the maturase, under reducing conditions in the presence of SAM. Tte1186 contains three [4Fe-4S] clusters that are indispensable for thioether cross-link formation; however, only one cluster catalyzes the reductive cleavage of SAM. Mechanistic imperatives for the reaction catalyzed by the thioether forming radical SAM maturases will be discussed.
