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 dsrE gene from Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1299 was shown to encode a very large protein with two potentially active catalytic domains (CD1 and CD2) separated by a glucan binding domain (GBD). From sequence analysis, DSR-E was classified in glucoside hydrolase family 70, where it is the only enzyme to have two catalytic domains. The recombinant protein DSR-E synthesizes both alpha-1,6 and alpha-1,2 glucosidic linkages in transglucosylation reactions using sucrose as the donor and maltose as the acceptor. To investigate the specific roles of CD1 and CD2 in the catalytic mechanism, truncated forms of dsrE were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Gene products were then small-scale purified to isolate the various corresponding enzymes. Dextran and oligosaccharide syntheses were performed. Structural characterization by (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance and/or high-performance liquid chromatography showed that enzymes devoid of CD2 synthesized products containing only alpha-1,6 linkages. On the other hand, enzymes devoid of CD1 modified alpha-1,6 linear oligosaccharides and dextran acceptors through the formation of alpha-1,2 linkages. Therefore, each domain is highly regiospecific, CD1 being specific for the synthesis of alpha-1,6 glucosidic bonds and CD2 only catalyzing the formation of alpha-1,2 linkages. This finding permitted us to elucidate the mechanism of alpha-1,2 branching formation and to engineer a novel transglucosidase specific for the formation of alpha-1,2 linkages. This enzyme will be very useful to control the rate of alpha-1,2 linkage synthesis in dextran or oligosaccharide production.
