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

One mechanism by which bacteria and fungi produce bioactive natural products is the use of nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). Many NRPSs in bacteria require members of the MbtH-like protein (MLP) superfamily for their solubility or function. Although MLPs are known to interact with the adenylation domains of NRPSs, the role MLPs play in NRPS enzymology has yet to be elucidated. MLPs are nearly always encoded within the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that also code for the NRPSs that interact with the MLP. Here, we identify 50 orphan MLPs from diverse bacteria. An orphan MLP is one that is encoded by a gene that is not directly adjacent to genes predicted to be involved in nonribosomal peptide biosynthesis. We targeted the orphan MLP MXAN_3118 from
