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

To engineer modular polyketide synthases that reliably yield stereocomplex products, a detailed understanding of how their enzymatic domains collectively operate is essential. How their enoylreductase (ER) domains function to install either d-or l-oriented alkyl substituents remains largely mysterious. In this study, we investigated the stereoselectivity of ERs and how they work with other domains within tetraketide-heptaketide synthase platforms constructed from components of the pikromycin and rapamycin synthases. We first determined how ER and acyl carrier protein (ACP) domains associate by mutagenically probing the consensus solution predicted by AlphaFold using an
