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

Terpenoid cyclases (TCs) account for the synthesis of the most widespread and diverse natural compounds. A sesquiterpene cyclase termed BcABA3 from an abscisic acid-producing fungus Botrytis cinerea that yields (2Z,4E)-α-ionylideneethane but lacks signature feature of canonical TCs represents a distinct type of TCs. Here, we report the crystal structures of BcABA3, a closely related RuABA3 from Rutstroemia sp. and a bacterial SkABA3 from Shimazuella kribbensis. These ABA3 proteins adopt an all-α-helix fold and bind pyrophosphate moiety of farnesyl pyrophosphate by Glu-chelated Mg
