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

Terpenes make up the largest class of natural products, with extensive chemical and structural diversity. Diterpenes, mostly isolated from plants and rarely prokaryotes, exhibit a variety of important biological activities and valuable applications, including providing antitumor and antibiotic pharmaceuticals. These natural products are constructed by terpene synthases, a class of enzymes that catalyze one of the most complex chemical reactions in biology: converting simple acyclic oligo-isoprenyl diphosphate substrates to complex polycyclic products via carbocation intermediates. Here we obtained the second ever crystal structure of a class II diterpene synthase from bacteria, tuberculosinol pyrophosphate synthase (i.e., Halimadienyl diphosphate synthase, MtHPS, or Rv3377c) from
