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 Wood-Ljungdahl pathway is one of biology's most ancient routes for carbon fixation and energy metabolism, used by organisms such as methanogenic archaea. One of its central metabolic complexes is the acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase (ACDS) complex, catalyzing acetyl-CoA synthesis and cleavage through the coordinated action of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH), acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS), and corrinoid iron-sulfur protein (CoFeSP). Unlike bacterial CODH/ACS, archaeal ACDS lacks a stable bifunctional CODH-ACS architecture, raising the question of how reactive CO and methyl intermediates are efficiently transferred between catalytic modules. Using cryo-electron microscopy, crosslinking mass spectrometry, small-angle X-ray scattering, and biophysical analyses, we resolved the organization and dynamics of the ~2 MDa archaeal ACDS supercomplex from
