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

DNA hypermodifications are effective weapons for phages to cope with the defense system of bacteria. The biogenesis of DNA hypermodification in phages involves multiple steps, from the modified deoxynucleotide monophosphates to the final hypermodification on the DNA chains. PseudomonasPaMx11 gp46 and gp47 encode the enzymes for sequentially converting 5-phosphomethyl-2'-deoxyuridine to 5-Nα-glycinylthymidine and 5-aminomethyl-2'-deoxyuridine. Here, we have determined the crystal structures of gp46 and gp47 in their apo and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-bound forms. We uncovered their dsDNA recognition properties and identified the critical residues for the catalytic reactions. Combined with in vitro biochemical studies, we proposed a plausible reaction scheme for gp46 and gp47 in converting these DNA hypermodifications. Our studies will provide the structural basis for future bioengineering of the synthetic pathway of hypermodification and identifying new modifications in mammals by enzyme-assisted sequencing methods.
