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

Chemoenzymatic synthesis methods use organic and enzyme chemistry to synthesize a desired small molecule. Complementing organic synthesis with enzyme-catalyzed selective transformations under mild conditions enables more sustainable and synthetically efficient chemical manufacturing. Here, we present a multistep retrosynthesis search algorithm to facilitate chemoenzymatic synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, specialty chemicals, commodity chemicals, and monomers. First, we employ the synthesis planner ASKCOS to plan multistep syntheses starting from commercially available materials. Then, we identify transformations that can be catalyzed by enzymes using a small database of biocatalytic reaction rules previously curated for RetroBioCat, a computer-aided synthesis planning tool for biocatalytic cascades. Enzymatic suggestions captured by the approach include ones capable of reducing the number of synthetic steps. We successfully plan chemoenzymatic routes for active pharmaceutical ingredients or their intermediates (
