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

To investigate the mechanism by which Pseudomonas cellulosa releases arabinose from polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, a gene library of P. cellulosa genomic DNA was screened for 4-methylumbelliferyl-alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (MUAase) activity. A single MUAase gene (abf51A) was isolated, which encoded a non-modular glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 51 arabinofuranosidase (Abf51A) of 57000 Da. The substrate specificity of the Abf51A showed that it preferentially removed alpha1,2- and alpha1,3-linked arabinofuranose side chains from either arabinan or arabinoxylan, and hydrolysed alpha1,5-linked arabino-oligosaccharides, although at a much lower rate. The activity of Abf51A against arabinoxylan was similar to a GH62 arabinofuranosidase encoded by a P. cellulosa gene. Glu-194 and Glu-321 of Abf51A are conserved in GH51 enzymes, and it has been suggested that these amino acids comprise the key catalytic acid/base and nucleophile residues, respectively. To evaluate this hypothesis the biochemical properties of E194A and E321A mutants of Abf51A were evaluated. The data were consistent with the view that Glu-194 and Glu-321 comprise the key catalytic residues of Abf51A. These data, in conjunction with the results presented in the accompanying paper [Beylot, Emami, McKie, Gilbert and Pell (2001) Biochem. J. 358, 599-605], indicate that P. cellulosa expresses a membrane-bound GH51 arabinofuranosidase that plays a pivotal role in releasing arabinose from a range of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides.
