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

An open reading frame homologous to the genes encoding several cell-wall hydrolyzing enzymes was identified on the genome of actinophage mu 1/6. This open reading frame encoding the putative endolysin was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and cloned into the expression vector pET-21a. This gene consisted of 1182 bp encoding a 393 amino acid polypeptide with a molar mass of 42.1 kDa. The gene product was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and then the lytic enzyme was purified by a two-step chromatographic procedure. When applied exogenously, the endolysin of phage mu 1/6 was active against all tested Streptomyces strains but did not affect other bacteria. The amino acid sequence showed a high homology with a putative amidase of the Streptomyces phase phi C31. Downstream of the endolysin gene, an open reading frame encoding an 88 amino acid protein was identified. Structural analysis of its sequence revealed features characteristics for holin.
