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

Aldolases are powerful biocatalysts for the stereoselective formation of carbon-carbon bonds and are widely used in the synthesis of chiral intermediates for pharmaceutical applications. Among them, 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) has been extensively exploited for the preparation of the conserved side chain of statins. In this work, we report a novel chemoenzymatic approach for the synthesis of nucleobase-substituted lactol products as potential precursors of new statin analogues. A C49M variant of DERA from
