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

SAM-dependent methyltransferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a methyl group from a cofactor to a substrate through an ordered or random sequential bi-bi mechanism. However, the structural dynamics governing binding cooperativity between the cofactor and substrate remain understudied. In this study, we demonstrate that SbSOMT, a plant O-methyltransferase, exhibits bilateral positive cooperativity between the cofactor and substrate, except the unproductive SbSOMT-SAM-pterostilbene complex. Furthermore, SbSOMT displayed substrate-binding kinetics that shift in response to the nature of bound-cofactor. Sinefungin-bound SbSOMT exhibited positive cooperativity primarily attributed to an increased substrate association rate constant (k
