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

Rv1220c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is annotated as an O-methyltransferase (MtbOMT). Currently, no structural information is available for this protein. Here, the crystal structure of MtbOMT refined to 2.0 Å resolution is described. The structure reveals the presence of a methyltransferase fold and shows clear electron density for one molecule of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which was apparently bound by the protein during its production in Escherichia coli. Although the overall structure of MtbOMT resembles the structures of O-methyltransferases from Cornybacterium glutamicum, Coxiella burnetti and Alfa alfa, differences are observed in the residues that make up the active site. Notably, substitution of Asp by His164 seems to abrogate metal binding by MtbOMT. A putative catalytic His-Asp pair located in the vicinity of SAM is absolutely conserved in MtbOMT homologues from all species of Mycobacterium, suggesting a conserved function for this protein.
