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

Formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) are metalloenzymes that catalyse the reversible conversion of formate to carbon dioxide. Since such a process may be used to combat the greenhouse effect, FDHs have been extensively studied by experimental and theoretical methods. However, the reaction mechanism is still not clear; instead five putative mechanisms have been suggested. In this work, the reaction mechanism of FDH was studied by computational methods. Combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanic (QM/MM) optimisations were performed to obtain the geometries. To get more accurate energies and obtain a detailed account of the surroundings, big-QM calculations with a very large (1121 atoms) QM region were performed. Our results indicate that the formate substrate does not coordinate directly to Mo when it enters the oxidised active site of the FDH, but instead resides in the second coordination sphere. The sulfido ligand abstracts a hydride ion from the substrate, giving a Mo(IV)-SH state and a thiocarbonate ion attached to Cys196. The latter releases CO
