Approaches for completing metabolic networks through metabolite damage and repair discovery.
Review in Current opinion in systems biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Metabolites are prone to damage, either via enzymatic side reactions, which collectively form the underground metabolism, or via spontaneous chemical reactions. The resulting non-canonical metabolites that can be toxic, are mended by dedicated "metabolite repair enzymes." Deficiencies in the latter can cause severe disease in humans, whereas inclusion of repair enzymes in metabolically engineered systems can improve the production yield of value-added chemicals. The metabolite damage and repair loops are typically not yet included in metabolic reconstructions and it is likely that many remain to be discovered. Here, we review strategies and associated challenges for unveiling non-canonical metabolites and metabolite repair enzymes, including systematic approaches based on high-resolution mass spectrometry, metabolome-wide side-activity prediction, as well as high-throughput substrate and phenotypic screens.
