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 are a class of cyclic peptides characterized by the presence of one or more lanthionine (Lan) or methyllanthionine (MeLan) thioether rings. These cross-links are produced by α,β-unsaturation of Ser or Thr residues in peptide substrates by dehydration, followed by a Michael-type conjugate addition of Cys residues onto the dehydroamino acids. Lanthipeptides may be broadly classified into at least five different classes, and the biosynthesis of classes I-IV lanthipeptides requires catalysis by LanC cyclases that control both the site-specificity and the stereochemistry of the conjugate addition. In contrast, there are no current examples of LanCs that occur in class V biosynthetic clusters, despite the presence of lanthionine rings in these compounds. In this work, bioinformatics-guided co-occurrence analysis identifies more than 240 putative class V lanthipeptide clusters that contain a LanC cyclase. Reconstitution studies demonstrate that the cyclase-catalyzed product is notably distinct from the product formed spontaneously. Stereochemical analysis shows that the cyclase diverts the final product to a configuration that is distinct from one that is energetically favored. Structural characterization of the final product by multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy reveals that it forms a helical stapled peptide. Mutational analysis identified a plausible order for cyclization and suggests that enzymatic rerouting to the final structure is largely directed by the construction of the first lanthionine ring. These studies show that lanthipeptide cyclases are needed for the biosynthesis of some constrained peptides, the formations of which would otherwise be energetically unfavored.
