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

The study of non-natural biocatalytic transformations relies heavily on empirical methods, such as directed evolution, for identifying improved variants. Although exceptionally effective, this approach provides limited insight into the molecular mechanisms behind the transformations and necessitates multiple protein engineering campaigns for new reactants. To address this limitation, we disclose a strategy to explore the biocatalytic reaction space and garner insight into the molecular mechanisms driving enzymatic transformations. Specifically, we explored the selectivity of an "ene"-reductase, GluER-T36A, to create a data-driven toolset that explores reaction space and rationalizes the observed and predicted selectivities of substrate/mutant combinations. The resultant statistical models related structural features of the enzyme and substrate to selectivity and were used to effectively predict selectivity in reactions with out-of-sample substrates and mutants. Our approach provided a deeper understanding of enantioinduction by GluER-T36A and holds the potential to enhance the virtual screening of enzyme mutants.
