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

Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs, EC 1.11.2.1) are promising biocatalysts for the oxyfunctionalization of organic molecules and the synthesis of industrially relevant compounds because of their vast repertoire of catalyzed reactions. To date, thousands of putative UPO genes have been identified in eukaryotic genomes, most of them in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla, and several UPOs have been characterized. Remarkably, no related enzymes have been reported in prokaryotic organisms. Here, we describe the discovery of a diverse family of bacterial heme-thiolate peroxygenases through structure database mining, followed by functional characterization of selected representatives. The bacterial proteins, termed bacterial UPOs (BUPOs), display clear structural homology to family I (short) fungal UPOs despite low sequence identity (<20%). Expression of one of these proteins (
