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

Polyketides are a large class of structurally and functionally diverse natural products with important bioactivities. Many polyketides are synthesized by reducing type II polyketide synthases (PKSs), containing transiently interacting standalone enzymes. During synthesis, ketoreductase (KR) catalyzes regiospecific carbonyl to hydroxyl reduction, determining the product outcome, yet little is known about what drives specific KR-substrate interactions. In this study, computational approaches were used to explore KR-substrate interactions based on previously solved apo and mimic cocrystal structures. We found five key factors guiding KR-substrate binding. First, two major substrate binding motifs were identified. Second, substrate length is the key determinant of substrate binding position. Third, two key residues in chain length specificity were confirmed. Fourth, phosphorylation of substrates is critical for binding. Finally, packing/hydrophobic effects primarily determine the binding stability. The molecular bases revealed here will help further engineering of type II PKSs and directed biosynthesis of new polyketides.
