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

Flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin-adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are essential flavoprotein cofactors. A riboflavin kinase (RFK) activity catalyzes riboflavin phosphorylation to FMN, which can then be transformed into FAD by an FMN:adenylyltransferase (FMNAT) activity. Two enzymes are responsible for each one of these activities in eukaryotes, whereas prokaryotes have a single bifunctional enzyme, FAD synthase (FADS). FADS folds in two independent modules: the C-terminal with RFK activity and the N-terminal with FMNAT activity. Differences in structure and chemistry for the FMNAT catalysis among prokaryotic and eukaryotic enzymes pointed to the FMNAT activity of prokaryotic FADS as a potential antimicrobial target, making the structural model of the bacterial FMNAT module in complex with substrates relevant to understand the FADS catalytic mechanism and to the discovery of antimicrobial drugs. However, such a crystallographic complex remains elusive. Here, we have used molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to generate energetically stable interactions of the FMNAT module of FADS from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes with ATP/Mg
