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

Saxifraga stolonifera is a Chinese traditional medicine for otitis media treatment. A few terpenoids were identified from S. stolonifera but the involved genes are unclear. Here, we mined a farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase gene (SsFPS) from the full-length transcriptome of S. stolonifera and confirmed it was expressed in cytoplasm. Subsequently, the enzymatic activity of SsFPS was characterized by in-vitro assays and heterologous expression in E.coli. Moreover, the gene expression pattern of SsFPS was positively correlated to which of a squalene synthase gene (SsSS) involved in triterpenoid biosynthesis and consistent to the accumulation pattern of total saponins in tissues. Taken together, SsFPS was characterized as an (E, E)-farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase in S. stolonifera and suggested to participate in sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid biosynthesis which provides the support to explore the biosynthesis and pharmacological activity of triterpenoid in Saxifraga.
