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

N-methylated amino acids are found in Nature in various biological compounds. N-methylation of amino acids has been shown to improve pharmacokinetic properties of peptide drugs due to conformational changes, improved proteolytic stability and/or higher lipophilicity. Due to these characteristics N-methylated amino acids received increasing interest by the pharmaceutical industry. Syntheses of N-methylated amino acids by chemical and biocatalytic approaches are known, but often show incomplete stereoselectivity, low yields or expensive co-factor regeneration. So far a one-step fermentative process from sugars has not yet been described. Here, a one-step conversion of sugars and methylamine to the N-methylated amino acid N-methyl-L-alanine was developed. A whole-cell biocatalyst was derived from a pyruvate overproducing C. glutamicum strain by heterologous expression of the N-methyl-L-amino acid dehydrogenase gene from Pseudomonas putida. As proof-of-concept, N-methyl-L-alanine titers of 31.7 g L
