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

Serratia sp. ATCC 39006 has two tandemly positioned genes, ser4 and ser5, both annotated as sugar aminotransferases, in a putative secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene cluster. Ser5 possesses a complete fold-type I aminotransferase fold, while Ser4 lacks the N- and C-terminal regions and a catalytically important lysine residue of fold-type I aminotransferase. We herein revealed that Ser4 and Ser5 formed a heterotetrameric complex (SerTA) with aminotransferase activity and determined the crystal structures. MD simulations and activity assays with SerTA variants indicated that residues from helix α-8* of inactive Ser4 are important for activity, confirming the importance of heterocomplex formation for activity. Furthermore, the structures suggest that SerTA recognizes a substrate loaded on the carrier protein.
