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

Eunicellane diterpenoids, with over 360 known examples characterized by a cis- or trans-6/10-bicyclic carbon skeleton, exhibit diverse biological activities. To date, five eunicellane cyclases (ECs) have been reported: cis-ECs (Bnd4, CpDTS2 and EcTPS1) and trans-ECs (AlbS and MicA), yet the structural basis and molecular mechanisms governing their distinct cis- or trans-cyclization modes remain unsolved. Here, we present the crystal structure of a cis-EC AriE from Amycolatopsis arida, which catalyzes geranylgeranyl diphosphate to form cis-6/10-fused bicyclic benditerpe-2,6,15-triene (1) in aridacin biosynthesis. Through surface entropy reduction, we obtained the 1.87 Å resolution structure of AriE
