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 pentose-phosphate pathway of Escherichia coli K-12, in addition to its role as a route for the breakdown of sugars such as glucose or pentoses, provides the cell with intermediates for the anabolism of amino acids, vitamins, nucleotides, and cell wall constituents. Through its oxidative branch, it is a major source of NADPH. The expression of the gene for NADP-dependent 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (gnd) is regulated by the growth rate in E. coli. The recently identified gene for ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (rpe) is part of a large operon that comprises among other genes for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. In recent years, genes for all enzymes of the pathway have been cloned and sequenced. Isoenzymes have been found for transketolase (genes tktA and tktB), ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (rpiA and rpiB) and transaldolase (talA and talB).
