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

Protein-reactive natural products such as the fungal metabolite cerulenin are recognized for their value as therapeutic candidates, due to their ability to selectively react with catalytic residues within a protein active site or a complex of protein domains. Here, we explore the development of fatty-acid and polyketide-synthase probes by synthetically modulating cerulenin's functional moieties. Using a mechanism-based approach, we reveal unique reactivity within cerulenin and adapt it for fluorescent labeling and crosslinking of fatty-acid and iterative type-I polyketide synthases. We also describe two new classes of silylcyanohydrin and silylhemiaminal masked crosslinking probes that serve as new tools for activity and structure studies of these biosynthetic pathways.
