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

Metalloenzymes play central roles in the anaerobic metabolism of human gut microbes. They facilitate redox and radical-based chemistry that enables microbial degradation and modification of various endogenous, dietary, and xenobiotic nutrients in the anoxic gut environment. In this review, we highlight major families of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster-dependent enzymes and molybdenum cofactor-containing enzymes used by human gut microbes. We describe the metabolic functions of 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratases, glycyl radical enzyme activating enzymes, Fe-S cluster-dependent flavoenzymes, U32 oxidases, and molybdenum-dependent reductases and catechol dehydroxylases in the human gut microbiota. We demonstrate the widespread distribution and prevalence of these metalloenzyme families across 5000 human gut microbial genomes. Lastly, we discuss opportunities for metalloenzyme discovery in the human gut microbiota to reveal new chemistry and biology in this important community.
