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

MAIN

conclusionTwo UDP-glycosyltransferases from Olea europaea were identified and characterized. Both catalyze the glycosylation of oleoside 11-methyl ester to form 7-β-1-D-glucopyranosyl 11-methyl oleoside, a putative intermediate in the oleuropein biosynthetic pathway.

introductionOleuropein, a secoiridoid glycoside abundant in Oleaceae plants, is extensively utilized in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its diverse pharmacological activities. The biosynthetic pathway from oleoside 11-methyl ester (OME) to oleuropein remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, two UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs), OeUGT1and OeUGT2, were identified in O. europaea. First, based on differential expression analysis and the characteristics of enzymes catalyzing carboxyl glycosylation, 51 differentially expressed UGTs were narrowed to 6 candidates. Both in vivo and in vitro enzyme activity assays demonstrated that OeUGT1 could catalyze OME to 7-β-1-D-glucopyranosyl 11-methyl oleoside (OME-Glc). The enzymatic properties of OeUGT1 were then characterized. The optimal reaction temperature was found to be 30 °C, and the optimal pH was 6.0. OeUGT1 exhibited a Michaelis constant (K
