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

The thymidylate synthases ThyA and Thy1 are enzymes that catalyse the formation of thymidine monophosphate from 2'-deoxyuridine monophosphate. Thy1 (or ThyX) requires flavin for catalytic reactions, while ThyA does not. In the present study, the crystal structure of the flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase Thy1 from Thermus thermophilus HB8 (TtThy1, TTHA1096) was determined in complex with FAD and phosphate at 2.5 Å resolution. TtThy1 is a tetrameric molecule like other Thy1 proteins, to which four FAD molecules are bound. In the crystal of TtThy1, two phosphate ions were bound to each dUMP-binding site. The characteristic feature of TtThy1 is the existence of an extra C-terminal domain (CTD) consisting of three α-helices and a β-strand. The function of the CTD is unknown and database analysis showed that this CTD is only shared by part of the Deinococcus-Thermus phylum.
