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

Acyltransferases are responsible for the selection and loading of acyl units onto carrier proteins in polyketide and fatty-acid biosynthesis. Despite the importance of protein-protein interactions between the acyltransferase and the carrier protein, structural information on acyltransferase-carrier protein interactions is limited because of the transient interactions between them. In the biosynthesis of the polyketide vicenistatin, the acyltransferase VinK recognizes the carrier protein VinL for the transfer of a dipeptidyl unit. The crystal structure of a VinK-VinL covalent complex formed with a 1,2-bismaleimidoethane cross-linking reagent has been determined previously. Here, the crystal structure of a VinK-VinL covalent complex formed with a pantetheine cross-linking probe is reported at 1.95 Å resolution. In the structure of the VinK-VinL-probe complex, the pantetheine probe that is attached to VinL is covalently connected to the side chain of the mutated Cys106 of VinK. The interaction interface between VinK and VinL is essentially the same in the two VinK-VinL complex structures, although the position of the pantetheine linker slightly differs. This structural observation suggests that interface interactions are not affected by the cross-linking strategy used.
