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

O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase (OASS) is the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate dependent enzyme that catalyses the formation of L-cysteine in bacteria and plants. Its inactivation is pursued as a strategy for the identification of novel antibiotics that, targeting dispensable proteins, holds a great promise for circumventing resistance development. In the present study, we have investigated the reactivity of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium OASS-A and OASS-B isozymes with fluoroalanine derivatives. Monofluoroalanine reacts with OASS-A and OASS-B forming either a stable or a metastable α-aminoacrylate Schiff's base, respectively, as proved by spectral changes. This finding indicates that monofluoroalanine is a substrate analogue, as previously found for other beta-halogenalanine derivatives. Trifluoroalanine caused different and time-dependent absorbance and fluorescence spectral changes for the two isozymes and is associated with irreversible inhibition. The time course of enzyme inactivation was found to be characterised by a biphasic behaviour. Partially distinct inactivation mechanisms for OASS-A and OASS-B are proposed.
