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

Diphthamide is a unique posttranslational modification on translation elongation factor 2 (EF2) in archaea and eukaryotes. Biosynthesis of diphthamide was proposed to involve four steps. The first step is a CC bond forming reaction catalyzed by unique radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes. Classical radical SAM enzymes use SAM and [4Fe-4S] clusters to generate a 5'-deoxyadenynal radical and catalyze numerous reactions. Radical SAM enzymes in diphthamide biosynthesis cleave a different CS bond in SAM to generate a 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl radical and modify a histidine residue of substrate protein EF2. Here, we describe our investigations on these unique radical SAM enzymes, including the preparation, characterization, and activity assays we have developed.
