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

Enfumafungin-type antibiotics, represented by enfumafungin and fuscoatroside, constitute a distinct class of fungi-derived fernane-type triterpenoids renowned for their potent antifungal activity. Notably, ibrexafungerp, a semi-chemically synthesized analogue of enfumafungin, has recently received approval as a novel antifungal drug. Thus, reconstituting the heterologous biosynthesis of enfumafungin holds great significance, as it offers a promising route for high-level production. Herein, the Aspergillus oryzae S184 chassis is first optimized. By deleting ku80 gene and refining counter-selection procedure, site-specific gene integration and substantially shortened the time required for selection marker recycling are significantly enhanced. Subsequently, an artificial biosynthetic pathway potentially involved in enfumafungin biosynthesis is successfully reconstructed. Crucially, the native terpene cyclase (TC)-glycosyltransferase (GT) fusion enzyme, EfuA, involved in enfumafungin biosynthesis, lost its functionality in A. oryzae. Conversely, a designed fusion enzyme EfuA
