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

Bacterial genomes contain large reservoirs of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that are predicted to encode unexplored natural products. Heterologous expression of previously unstudied BGCs should facilitate the discovery of additional therapeutically relevant bioactive molecules from bacterial culture collections, but the large-scale manipulation of BGCs remains cumbersome. Here, we describe a method to parallelize the identification, mobilization and heterologous expression of BGCs. Our solution simultaneously captures large numbers of BGCs by cloning the genomes of a strain collection in a large-insert library and uses the CONKAT-seq (co-occurrence network analysis of targeted sequences) sequencing pipeline to efficiently localize clones carrying intact BGCs which represent candidates for heterologous expression. Our discovery of several natural products, including an antibiotic that is active against multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrates the potential of leveraging economies of scale with this approach to systematically interrogate cryptic BGCs contained in strain collections.
