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

Polyketides have demonstrated their significance as therapeutics, industrial products, pesticides, and biological probes following intense study over the past decades. Tagging polyketides with a bioorthogonal functionality enables various applications such as diversification, quantification, visualization and mode-of-action elucidation. The terminal alkyne moiety, as a small, stable and highly selective clickable functionality, is widely adopted in tagging natural products. De novo biosynthesis of alkyne-tagged polyketides offers the unique advantage of reducing the background from feeding the biorthogonal moiety itself, leading to the accomplishment of in situ generation of a clickable functionality for bioorthogonal reactions. Here, we introduce several engineering strategies to apply terminal alkyne biosynthetic machinery, represented by JamABC, which produces a short terminal alkyne-bearing fatty acyl chain on a carrier protein, to functions with different downstream polyketide synthases (PKSs). Successful results in engineering type III and type I PKSs provide engineering guidelines and strategies that are applicable to additional PKSs to produce targeted alkyne-tagged metabolites for chemical and biological applications.
