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

This mini-review covers the use of nitrogen-15 in bacterial and fungal natural product discovery and biosynthetic characterization from 1970 to 2022. Nitrogen is an important element in a number of bioactive and structurally intriguing natural products including alkaloids, non-ribosomal peptides, and hybrid natural products. Nitrogen-15 can be detected at natural abundance utilizing two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. Additionally, it is a stable isotope that can be added to growth media for both filamentous fungi and bacteria. With stable isotope feeding, additional two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry strategies have become available, and there is a growing trend to use nitrogen-15 stable isotope feeding for the biosynthetic characterization of natural products. This mini-review will catalog the use of these strategies, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches, and suggest future directions for the use of nitrogen-15 in natural product discovery and biosynthetic characterization.
