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

Whereas enzymes in the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) superfamily catalyze several distinct chemical reactions, the structural basis for their multi-functionality remains elusive. As a well-studied example, human FAH domain-containing protein 1 (FAHD1) is a mitochondrial protein displaying both acylpyruvate hydrolase (ApH) and oxaloacetate decarboxylase (ODx) activity. As mitochondrial ODx, FAHD1 acts antagonistically to pyruvate carboxylase, a key metabolic enzyme. Despite its importance for mitochondrial function, very little is known about the catalytic mechanisms underlying FAHD1 enzymatic activities, and the architecture of its ligated active site is currently ill defined. We present crystallographic data of human FAHD1 that provide new insights into the structure of the catalytic center at high resolution, featuring a flexible 'lid'-like helical region which folds into a helical structure upon binding of the ODx inhibitor oxalate. The oxalate-driven structural transition results in the generation of a potential catalytic triad consisting of E33, H30 and an associated water molecule.
