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

To rationally engineer the substrate scope and selectivity of flavin-dependent halogenases (FDHs), it is essential to first understand the reaction mechanism and substrate interactions in the active site. FDHs have long been known to achieve regioselectivity through an electrophilic aromatic substitution at C7 of the natural substrate Trp, but the precise role of a key active-site Lys residue remains ambiguous. Formation of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) at the cofactor-binding site is achieved by the direct reaction of molecular oxygen and a single chloride ion with reduced FAD and flavin hydroxide, respectively. HOCl is then guided 10 Å into the halogenation active site. Lys79, located in this site, has been proposed to direct HOCl toward Trp C7 through hydrogen bonding or a direct reaction with HOCl to form an -NH
