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

Dehydratase (DH) domains of cryptic function are often found in polyketide synthase (PKS) modules that produce epimerized (2S)-2-methyl-3-ketoacyl-ACP (acyl carrier protein) intermediates. A combination of tandem equilibrium isotope exchange (EIX) and a newly developed Tandem Modules Epimerase assay revealed the intrinsic epimerase activity of NanDH1 and NanDH5, from modules 1 and 5, respectively, of the nanchangmycin (1) PKS as well of NigDH1, from module 1 of the nigericin (3) PKS. Unexpectedly, all three epimerase-active DH domains were also found to possess intrinsic dehydratase activity, whereas the conventional DH domains, EryDH4, from module 4 of the erythromycin synthase, and NanDH2 from module 2 of the nanchangmycin synthase, were shown to have cryptic epimerase activity.
