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

Sesquiterpene synthases (STSs) enable cationic cascade reactions with farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) resulting in an immense variety of oligocyclic sesquiterpenes. Their substrate promiscuity allows access to new sesquiterpene carbon skeletons. We explored the ability of eight STSs to process three distinct synthetic FPP derivatives modified at the central isoprenyl unit. These include the incorporation of a keto group at C7 ("keto"-FPP), the relocation of the olefinic double bond into the methyl group ("iso"-FPP), and the shift of the double bond toward the aliphatic terminus of the FPP backbone and loss of the methyl group at C7 ("nor-iso" FPP). We report the enzymatic production of 18 new terpenoids, including a large variety of new oxaterpenoids. One of these is known as a late stage intermediate in the total synthesis of the sex pheromone periplanone B, which is secreted by females of the American cockroach
