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

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) display a diverse range of structures and continue to expand as a natural product class. Accordingly, RiPPs exhibit a wide array of bioactivities, acting as broad and narrow spectrum growth suppressors, antidiabetics, and antinociception and anticancer agents. Because of these properties, and the complex repertoire of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that give rise to these molecules, RiPP biosynthesis has been intensely studied. RiPP biosynthesis often involves enzymes that perform unique chemistry with intriguing reaction mechanisms, which attract chemists and biochemists alike to study and re-engineer these pathways. One particular type of RiPP biosynthetic enzyme is the so-called radical S-adenosylmethionine (rSAM) enzyme, which utilizes radical-based chemistry to install several distinct PTMs. Here, we describe the rSAM enzymes characterized over the past decade that catalyze six reaction types from several RiPP biosynthetic pathways. We present the current state of mechanistic understanding and conclude with possible directions for future characterization of this enzyme family.
