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

DNA sequence analysis of a region of the Streptomyces sp. strain C5 daunomycin biosynthesis gene cluster, located between the daunomycin polyketide biosynthesis gene cluster and a dnrI (transcriptional activator) homolog, revealed the presence of a gene encoding a P-450-like enzyme with a deduced Mr of 46,096. Expression of this gene, named herein doxA, in Streptomyces lividans TY24 resulted in in vivo bioconversion of daunomycin to doxorubicin. DoxA showed specificity for only daunomycin and 13-dihydrodaunomycin, both of which were converted to doxorubicin. Daunomycinone (daunomycin aglycone), carminomycin, 13-dihydrocarminomycin, idarubicin, and aklavin were not apparent substrates for DoxA. In vector controls or in vectors in which doxA was poorly expressed, S. lividans catalyzed the reduction of daunomycin and other 13-oxo-anthracyclines and -anthracyclinones to their 13-dihydro homologs.
