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

Methanobactins (Mbns) are ribosomally produced, post-translationally modified bacterial natural products with a high affinity for copper. MbnN, a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase, performs a transamination reaction that is the last step in the biosynthesis of Mbns produced by several Methylosinus species. Our bioinformatic analyses indicate that MbnNs likely derive from histidinol-phosphate aminotransferases (HisCs), which play a key role in histidine biosynthesis. A comparison of the HisC active site with the predicted MbnN structure suggests that MbnN's active site is altered to accommodate the larger and more hydrophobic substrates necessary for Mbn biosynthesis. Moreover, we have confirmed that MbnN is capable of catalyzing the final transamination step in Mbn biosynthesis in vitro and in vivo. We also demonstrate that without this final modification, Mbn exhibits significantly decreased stability under physiological conditions. An examination of other Mbns and Mbn operons suggests that N-terminal protection of this family of natural products is of critical importance and that several different means of N-terminal stabilization have evolved independently in Mbn subfamilies.
