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

Hydrazine synthetases (HSs), consisting of cupin and methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS)-like domains, catalyze hydrazine formation in the biosynthesis of various nitrogennitrogen (NN) bond-containing secondary metabolites. The structural diversity of the NN bond-containing secondary metabolites synthesized using this system is attributed to the diversity of amino acids (e.g., l-Glu, d-Glu, l-Ala, l-Tyr, l-Ser, and Gly) that are recognized by the MetRS domain. However, there are still many HS genes in the genome database whose substrates are unknown. This study identifies a putative biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) for thrazarine, a diazo group-containing secondary metabolite with antitumor activity, by whole-genome sequencing of the thrazarine producer Streptomyces coerulescens MH802-fF5. In vivo and in vitro analyses showed that ThzN, an HS encoded by this BGC, synthesizes N-((5-carboxy-5-(amino)pentyl)amino)threonine from l-Thr and N
