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

Pulmonary tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most persistent diseases leading to death in humans. As one of the key targets during the latent/dormant stage of M. tuberculosis, isocitrate lyase (ICL) has been a subject of interest for new tuberculosis therapeutics. In this work, the cleavage of the isocitrate by M. tuberculosis ICL was studied using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics method at M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p): AMBER level of theory. The electronic embedding approach was applied to provide a better depiction of electrostatic interactions between MM and QM regions. Two possible pathways (pathway I that involves Asp108 and pathway II that involves Glu182) that could lead to the metabolism of isocitrate was studied in this study. The results suggested that the core residues involved in isocitrate catalytic cleavage mechanism are Asp108, Cys191 and Arg228. A water molecule bonded to Mg
