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

Class III lanthipeptides are an emerging subclass of lanthipeptides, representing an underexplored trove of new natural products with potentially broad chemical diversity and important biological activity. Bioinformatic analysis of class III lanthipeptide biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) distribution has revealed their high abundance in the phylum Firmicutes. Many of these clusters also feature methyltransferase (MT) genes, which likely encode uncommon class III lanthipeptides. However, two hurdles, silent BGCs and low-yielding pathways, have hindered the discovery of class III lanthipeptides from Firmicutes. Here, we report the design and construction of a biosynthetic pathway refactoring and heterologous overexpression strategy which seeks to overcome these hurdles, simultaneously activating and increasing the production of these Firmicutes class III lanthipeptides. Applying our strategy to MT-containing BGCs, we report the discovery of new class III lanthipeptides from Firmicutes bearing rare
