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

Prenyltransferase (PTase) enzymes play crucial roles in natural product biosynthesis by transferring isoprene unit(s) to target substrates, thereby generating prenylated compounds. The prenylation step leads to a diverse group of natural products with improved membrane affinity and enhanced bioactivity, as compared to the non-prenylated forms. The last two decades have witnessed increasing studies on the identification, characterization, enzyme engineering, and synthetic biology of microbial PTase family enzymes. We herein summarize several examples of microbial soluble aromatic PTases for chemoenzymatic syntheses of unnatural novel prenylated compounds.
