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

backgroundFlavonol synthase (FLS) is the key enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of flavonols, the most abundant flavonoids, which have diverse pharmaceutical effects. Flavonol synthase has been previously found in other species, but not yet in Ornithogalum caudatum.

resultsThe transcriptome-wide mining and functional characterisation of a flavonol synthase gene family from O. caudatum were reported. Specifically, a small FLS gene family harbouring two members, OcFLS1 and OcFLS2, was isolated from O. caudatum based on transcriptome-wide mining. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the two proteins showed the closest relationship with FLS proteins. In vitro enzymatic assays indicated OcFLS1 and OcFLS2 were flavonol synthases, catalysing the conversion of dihydroflavonols to flavonols in an iron-dependent fashion. In addition, the two proteins were found to display flavanone 3β-hydroxylase (F3H) activity, hydroxylating flavanones to form dihydroflavonols. Unlike single F3H enzymes, the F3H activity of OcFLS1 and OcFLS2 did not absolutely require iron. However, the presence of sufficient Fe

conclusionsOcFLS1 and OcFLS2 from O. caudatum were demonstrated to be flavonol synthases with iron-independent flavanone 3-hydroxylase activity.
