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

We previously demonstrated that the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima has unique metabolic pathways for D- and L-amino acids. In the present study, we characterized O-acetyl-L-homoserine sulfhydrylase (MetY) TM0882 associated with L-methionine biosynthesis. MetY catalyzes the production of L-homocysteine from O-acetyl-L-homoserine and hydrogen sulfide. We found that TM0882 also possesses β-lyase, racemase/α-epimerase, aminotransferase, and decarboxylase activities. This enzyme displayed L-cysteine β-lyase activity as well as racemase/α-epimerase activity toward glutamate and threonine. Furthermore, TM0882 exhibited aminotransferase and L-aspartate 4-decarboxylase activities. Catalytic efficiency (k
