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

Lanthipeptides are a group of peptides synthesized by ribosomes that undergo post-translational modifications and have significant potential for medical and biotechnological applications. Various bacterial strains produce these peptides, and their synthesis involves the structural modification of precursor compounds through specialized enzymes present within a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) of the producing organisms. These enzymes are particularly notable for their capacity to modify non-cognate substrates, allowing for the installation of lanthionine rings on precursor peptides and enabling further modifications, such as methylation, reduction, and oxidation, to enhance the biological properties of specific peptides. The inherent flexibility of lanthipeptide enzymes-an important characteristic of this class of proteins-can be utilized to create peptides with improved bioactive and physicochemical properties. This review synthesizes recent advances in the application of promiscuous enzymes for the synthesis of bioactive peptides, emphasizing the diverse classes identified to date.
