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

backgroundPlipastatin, an antifungal lipopeptide, is synthesized by a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) in Bacillus subtilis. However, little information is available on the combinatorial biosynthesis strategies applied in plipastatin biosynthetic pathway. In this study, we applied module or individual domain deletion strategies to engineer the plipastatin biosynthetic pathway, and investigated the effect of deletions on the plipastatin assembly line, as well as revealed the synthetic patterns of novel lipopeptides.

resultsModule deletion inactivated the entire enzyme complex, whereas individual domain (A/T domain) deletion within module 7 truncated the assembly line, resulting in truncated linear hexapeptides (C

conclusionsNotably, a unique module-skipping process occurred following deletion of the A
