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

Linear free energy relationships (LFERs) for substituent effects on reactions that proceed through similar transition states provide insight into transition state structures. A classical approach to the analysis of LFERs showed that differences in the slopes of Brønsted correlations for addition of substituted alkyl alcohols to ring-substituted 1-phenylethyl carbocations and to the β-galactopyranosyl carbocation intermediate of reactions catalyzed by β-galactosidase provide evidence that the enzyme catalyst modifies the curvature of the energy surface at the saddle point for the transition state for nucleophile addition. We have worked to generalize the use of LFERs in the determination of enzyme mechanisms. The defining property of enzyme catalysts is their specificity for binding the transition state with a much higher affinity than the substrate. Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM), orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPDC), and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) show effective catalysis of reactions of phosphorylated substrates and strong phosphite dianion activation of reactions of phosphodianion truncated substrates, with rate constants
