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

Covering: up to April 5, 2018 Metabolites from type II fatty acid synthase (FAS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) pathways differ broadly in their identities and functional roles. The former are considered primary metabolites that are linear hydrocarbon acids, while the latter are complex aromatic or polyunsaturated secondary metabolites. Though the study of bacterial FAS has benefitted from decades of biochemical and structural investigations, type II PKSs have remained less understood. Here we review the recent approaches to understanding the protein-protein and protein-substrate interactions in these pathways, with an emphasis on recent chemical biology and structural applications. New approaches to the study of FAS have highlighted the critical role of the acyl carrier protein (ACP) with regard to how it stabilizes intermediates through sequestration and selectively delivers cargo to successive enzymes within these iterative pathways, utilizing protein-protein interactions to guide and organize enzymatic timing and specificity. Recent tools that have shown promise in FAS elucidation should find new approaches to studying type II PKS systems in the coming years.
