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

Prenylated natural products have interesting pharmacological properties and prenylation reactions play crucial roles in controlling the activities of biomolecules. They are difficult to synthesize chemically, but enzymatic synthesis production is a desirable pathway. Cyclic dipeptide prenyltransferase catalyzes the regioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of tryptophan-containing cyclic dipeptides. This class of enzymes, which belongs to the dimethylallyl tryptophan synthase superfamily, is known to be flexible to aromatic prenyl receptors, while mostly retaining its typical regioselectivity. In this study, seven tryptophan-containing cyclic dipeptides
