Visualizing acyl carrier protein interactions within a crosslinked type I polyketide synthase.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Using a combination of dual covalent crosslinking and cryo-EM analyses, we elucidate the structure of mycocerosic acid synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis trapped in two distinct catalytic states during its iterative cycle. These structures reveal domain architecture of the acyl carrier protein mediating condensation and dehydration through dual site-selective crosslinking of the acyl carrier protein with the ketosynthase and dehydratase domains. Map density was sufficient to visualize full domain architecture with active site-bound probes and elucidate key interactions of four distinct crosslinked species. Here, iterative vectorial polyketide biosynthesis arises through an overall twisting and tilting architecture, enabling positioning and entry of the cognate substrate at each enzymatic domain. These structures present valuable details for future therapeutic design against mycocerosic acid biosynthesis in M. tuberculosis.
