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

Complex polyketides comprise a large number of natural products that have broad application in medicine and agriculture. They are produced in bacteria and fungi from enzyme complexes named type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) that are composed of multifunctional polypeptides containing discrete enzymatic domains organized into modules. The modular nature of PKSs has enabled a multitude of efforts to engineer the PKS genes to produce novel polyketides with enhanced or new properties. We have repurposed PKSs, employing up to three modules to produce a number of short-chain molecules that could have applications as fuels or industrial chemicals. Examining the enzymatic functions in vitro of these repurposed PKSs, we have uncovered a number of expanded substrate specificities and requirements of various PKS domains not previously reported and determined an unexpected difference in the order of enzymatic reactions within a module. In addition, we were able to efficiently change the stereochemistry of side chains in selected PKS products.
