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

As protein engineering grows more salient, many strategies have emerged to alter protein structure and function, with the goal of redesigning and optimizing natural product biosynthesis. Computational tools, including machine learning and molecular dynamics simulations, have enabled the rational mutagenesis of key catalytic residues for enhanced or altered biocatalysis. Semi-rational, directed evolution and microenvironment engineering strategies have optimized catalysis for native substrates and increased enzyme promiscuity beyond the scope of traditional rational approaches. These advances are made possible using novel high-throughput screens, including designer protein-based biosensors with engineered ligand specificity. Herein, we detail the most recent of these advances, focusing on polyketides, non-ribosomal peptides and isoprenoids, including their native biosynthetic logic to provide clarity for future applications of these technologies for natural product synthetic biology.
