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

Tetracyclines are a class of antibiotics that exhibited potent activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yet only five members were isolated from actinobacteria, with two of them approved as clinical drugs. In this work, we developed a genome mining strategy using a TetR/MarR-transporter, a pair of common resistance enzymes in tetracycline biosynthesis, as probes to find the potential tetracycline gene clusters in the actinobacteria genome database. Further refinement using the phylogenetic analysis of chain length factors resulted in the discovery of 25 distinct tetracycline gene clusters, which finally resulted in the isolation and characterization of a novel tetracycline, hainancycline (1). Through genetic and biochemical studies, we elucidated the biosynthetic pathway of 1, which involves a complex glycosylation process. Our work discloses nature's huge capacity to generate diverse tetracyclines and expands the chemical diversity of tetracyclines.
