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

Cyanobactins are a diverse collection of natural products that originate from short peptides made on a ribosome. The amino acids are modified in a series of transformations catalyzed by multiple enzymes. The patellamide pathway is the most well studied and characterized example. Here we review the structures and mechanisms of the enzymes that cleave peptide bonds, macrocyclise peptides, heterocyclise cysteine (as well as threonine and serine) residues, oxidize five-membered heterocycles and attach prenyl groups. Some enzymes operate by novel mechanisms which is of interest and in addition the enzymes uncouple recognition from catalysis. The normally tight relationship between these factors hinders biotechnology. The cyanobactin pathway may be particularly suitable for exploitation, with progress observed with in vivo and in vitro approaches.
