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 structural wealth of complex polyketide metabolites produced by bacteria results from intricate, highly evolved biosynthetic programs of modular assembly lines, in which the number of modules defines the size of the backbone, and the domain composition controls the degree of functionalization. We report a remarkable case where polyketide chain length and scaffold depend on the function of a single β-keto processing domain: A ketoreductase domain represents a switch between diverging biosynthetic pathways leading either to the antifungal aureothin or to the nematicidal luteoreticulin. By a combination of heterologous expression, mutagenesis, metabolite analyses, and in vitro biotransformation we elucidate the factors governing non-colinear polyketide assembly involving module skipping and demonstrate that a simple point mutation in type I polyketide synthase (PKS) can have a dramatic effect on the metabolic profile. This finding sheds new light on possible evolutionary scenarios and may inspire future synthetic biology approaches.
