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 O antigen is indispensable for the full function and virulence of pathogenic bacteria. During O-repeating unit (RU) biosynthesis, committed glycosyltransferases (GTs) transfer various sugars from an activated sugar donor to the appropriate lipid carrier sequentially. While the nucleotide sequence specific for O antigen of pathogenic bacteria is already known, the exact substrate specificity of most hypothetical GTs have yet be characterized. In the present paper, we report the biochemical characterization of one alpha-glucosyltransferase, WfgE, a member of GT family 4. This enzyme is implicated in the pentasaccharide RU biosynthetic pathway of E. coli O152 O antigen. A chemoenzymatically synthesized acceptor (GlcGlcNAc α-PP-O(CH
