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

As the field of radical SAM enzymology has grown from a few examples in the 1990s to hundreds of thousands today, a fundamental question has remained: how does Nature use S-adenosyl-L-methionine to initiate radical reactions? This was a driving question when we first began studying pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme in 1993, and our journey for answers has brought us to many surprising discoveries, from the direct coordination of SAM to a unique iron in a [4Fe-4S] cluster, to our recent discovery of an organometallic intermediate and our ability to quantitatively produce and characterize the long-sought 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical intermediate. These adventures and what we have learned along the way about this fundamentally novel chemistry is described in this review.
