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 metazoan second messenger 2'3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) is a cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) that induces secretion of type I interferons and activates the immune system and has thus attracted significant interest as a vaccine adjuvant or immunotherapeutic. CDN bisphosphorothioates are of particular interest because of their increased hydrolytic stability and improved cell activities. In our work with CDN bisphosphorothioates, we sought a method for systematic determination of the absolute stereochemistry of their phosphorothioate stereocenters. A novel biocatalytic method employing snake venom phosphodiesterase (svPDE) and nP1 has been developed and successfully applied to stereochemistry determination of 2'3'-cGAMP bisphosphorothioates. This method unambiguously assigned the phosphorothioate stereochemistry of four diastereomers of 2'3'-cGAMP bisphosphorothioate by analyzing distinct hydrolysis patterns of the bisphosphorothioate diastereomers upon incubation with svPDE and nP1. Furthermore, the regiospecificity as well as stereospecificity of both svPDE and nP1 toward 2'3'-cGAMP bisphosphorothioate has been elucidated.
