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

As type II fatty acid synthesis is essential for the growth of Escherichia coli, its many components are regarded as potential targets for novel antibacterial drugs. Among them, β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase (KAS) FabB is the exclusive factor for elongation of the cis-3-decenoyl-ACP (cis-3-C IMPORTANCE: It has been firmly established that FabB for UFA synthesis via type II fatty acid synthesis in FabA-containing bacteria such as E. coli is essential. However, S. oneidensis appears to be an exception. In this bacterium, FabF1, when sufficiently expressed, is able to fully complement the FabB loss. Importantly, such a capability can be obtained by spontaneous mutations, which lead to transcription read-through. Therefore, our data, by identifying the functional overlap between FabB and FabFs, provide new insights into the current understanding of KAS and help reveal novel ways to block UFA synthesis for therapeutic purposes.
