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

Microbial phosphonate biosynthetic machinery has been identified in ~5 % of bacterial genomes and encodes natural products like fosfomycin as well as cell surface decorations. Almost all biological phosphonates originate from the rearrangement of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to phosphonopyruvate (PnPy) catalysed by PEP mutase (Ppm), and PnPy is often converted to phosphonoacetaldehyde (PnAA) by PnPy decarboxylase (Ppd). Seven enzymes are known or likely to act on either PnPy or PnAA as early branch points en route to diverse biosynthetic outcomes, and these enzymes may be broadly classified into three reaction types: hydride transfer, aminotransfer, and carbon-carbon bond formation. However, the relative abundance of these branch points in microbial phosphonate biosynthesis is unknown. Also unknown is the proportion of
