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

Carbonic anhydrase, a zinc enzyme catalyzing the interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, is nearly ubiquitous in the tissues of highly evolved eukaryotes. Here we report on the first known plant-type (beta-class) carbonic anhydrase in the archaea. The Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum DeltaH cab gene was hyperexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the heterologously produced protein was purified 13-fold to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme, designated Cab, is thermostable at temperatures up to 75 degrees C. No esterase activity was detected with p-phenylacetate as the substrate. The enzyme is an apparent tetramer containing approximately one zinc per subunit, as determined by plasma emission spectroscopy. Cab has a CO(2) hydration activity with a k(cat) of 1.7 x 10(4) s(-1) and K(m) for CO(2) of 2.9 mM at pH 8.5 and 25 degrees C. Western blot analysis indicates that Cab (beta class) is expressed in M. thermoautotrophicum; moreover, a protein cross-reacting to antiserum raised against the gamma carbonic anhydrase from Methanosarcina thermophila was detected. These results show that beta-class carbonic anhydrases extend not only into the Archaea domain but also into the thermophilic prokaryotes.
