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

Engineered biosynthetic assembly lines could revolutionize the sustainable production of bioactive natural product analogs. Although yeast display is a proven, powerful tool for altering the substrate specificity of gatekeeper adenylation domains in nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), comparable strategies for other components of these megaenzymes have not been described. Here we report a high-throughput approach for engineering condensation (C) domains responsible for peptide elongation. We show that a 120-kDa NRPS module, displayed in functional form on yeast, can productively interact with an upstream module, provided in solution, to produce amide products tethered to the yeast surface. Using this system to screen a large C-domain library, we reprogrammed a surfactin synthetase module to accept a fatty acid donor, increasing catalytic efficiency for this noncanonical substrate >40-fold. Because C domains can function as selectivity filters in NRPSs, this methodology should facilitate the precision engineering of these molecular assembly lines.
