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

Highly reducing iterative polyketide synthases (HR-iPKSs) are huge enzyme complexes with multiple catalytic domains that biosynthesize polyketides by intrinsically programmed iterative carbon chain extensions and reductions. Unlike most HR-iPKSs, which possess a single ketosynthase (KS) domain for all carbon chain elongations, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthases contain two KS domains. We previously examined the substrate specificities of two KS domains of prokaryotic marine PUFA synthases with several acyl-ACP intermediates and showed that the two KS domains are utilized differentially depending on the carbon chain length. In this study, we investigated two KS domains in a eukaryotic microalgal DHA synthase, KS
