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

The ubiquitous nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) engages in diverse biological processes, leading to non-selective energy transfer toward target synthetic reactions. To achieve selective energy transfer in complex biological systems, we previously constructed artificial systems mediated by the non-natural cofactor nicotinamide cytosine dinucleotide (NCD), which can be specifically recognized by engineered enzymes with minimal cross-talk with natural cofactors. For enhanced energy transfer and higher product yields, efficient conversion of NCD to NCDH is required to deliver reducing power in NCD-mediated biosynthetic pathways. Here, we established a comprehensive strategy for selective reduction in intracellular NCD. First, coupled enzymatic colorimetric assays with high specificity were validated for quantifying NAD, NADP, and NCD. With phosphite as the energy source, we selectively elevated the intracellular NCDH/NCD ratio with minimal perturbation to NADH/NAD and NADPH/NADP ratios in
