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

Alkaloids include some of the most impactful molecules used in science and medicine. While plant alkaloids are well explored, much less is known about the diverse bioactive alkaloids from the animal kingdom. To solve this problem, we developed a computational method to discover genes that are bundled in chromosomal regions, enabling agnostic discovery of noncanonical biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) without prior knowledge of what enzymes might be involved. The method was applied to marine sponges that produce oroidin and related pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids, uncovering 36 BGCs in oroidin-producing sponges, only one of which (
