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

Gramicidin S (GS) is a cyclic decapeptide derived from two pentapeptides. The C-terminal thioesterase (TE) domain of gramicidin S synthetase B (GrsB) dimerizes precursor pentapeptides and cyclizes the resulting linear decapeptide. Recently, a GS variant (GS-SA), in which a single D-Phe is replaced by L-Ser(Allyl), is reported via precursor-directed biosynthesis in a native GS producer. To understand how GrsB-TE processes such modified precursors, its substrate specificity using synthetic linear peptides is investigated. GrsB-TE cyclizes a substrate containing L-Ser(Allyl) at position 6 but not at position 1. However, the enzymatically synthesized GS-SA shows a different high-performance liquid chromatography retention time than that of the reported GS variant. Further structural and functional analyses, including
