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

Allosamidin is a metabolite produced by Streptomyces species, known for its inhibitory activity against family 18 chitinases. All known natural congeners of allosamidin are pseudotrisaccharides featuring a cyclopentane moiety fused with an aminooxazoline ring. We discovered a novel allosamidin congener produced by Streptomyces sp. No. 1-5-6, an allosamidin producer newly isolated from soil. Although its yield was very low, its structure was elucidated by NMR and MS analyses as N-acetylallosaminylallosamidin, the first natural allosamidin congener with a pseudotetrasaccharide structure. N-Acetylallosaminylallosamidin inhibited bacterially expressed mouse acidic mammalian chitinase with an IC₅₀ value of 102.3 nM, showing strong activity, albeit slightly weaker than that of allosamidin.
