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

Diterpenes, or diterpenoids, are the most abundant and diverse subgroup of terpenoids, the largest family of secondary metabolites. Most diterpenes possess broad biological activities including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-tumoral, antimicrobial, anticancer, antifungal, antidiabetic, cardiovascular protective, and phytohormone activities. As such, diterpenes have wide applications in medicine (e.g., the anticancer drug Taxol and the antibiotic pleuromutilin), agriculture (especially as phytohormones such as gibberellins), personal care (e.g., the fragrance sclareol) and food (e.g., steviol glucosides as low-calorie sweeteners) industries. Diterpenes are biosynthesized in a common route with various diterpene synthases and decoration enzymes like cytochrome P450 oxidases, glycosidases, and acyltransferases. Recent advances in DNA sequencing and synthesis, omics analysis, synthetic biology, and metabolic engineering have enabled efficient production of diterpenes in several chassis hosts like
