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

Lanthipeptides belong to the family of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). The (methyl)lanthionine cross-links characteristic to lanthipeptides are essential for their stability and bioactivities. In most bacteria, lanthipeptides are maturated from single precursor peptides encoded in the corresponding biosynthetic gene clusters. However, cyanobacteria engage in combinatorial biosynthesis and encode as many as 80 substrate peptides with highly diverse sequences that are modified by a single lanthionine synthetase into lanthipeptides of different lengths and ring patterns. It is puzzling how a single enzyme could exert control over the cyclization processes of such a wide range of substrates. Here, we used a library of ProcA3.3 precursor peptide variants and show that it is not the enzyme ProcM but rather its substrate sequences that determine the regioselectivity of lanthionine formation. We also demonstrate the utility of trapped ion mobility spectrometry-tandem mass spectrometry (TIMS-MS/MS) as a fast and convenient method to efficiently separate lanthipeptide constitutional isomers, particularly in cases where the isomers cannot be resolved by conventional liquid chromatography. Our data allowed identification of factors that are important for the cyclization outcome, but also showed that there are no easily identifiable predictive rules for all sequences. Our findings provide a platform for future deep learning approaches to allow such prediction of ring patterns of products of combinatorial biosynthesis.
