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

Cryptolepain is a stable glycosylated novel serine protease purified from the latex of the medicinally important plant Cryptolepis buchanani. The molecular weight of the enzyme is 50.5 kDa, as determined by mass spectrometry. The sequence of the first 15 N-terminal resides of the protease showed little homology with those of other plant serine proteases, suggesting it to be structurally unique. Thus, it is of interest to solve the structure of the enzyme in order to better understand its structure-function relationship. X-ray diffraction data were collected from a crystal of cryptolepain and processed to 2.25 A with acceptable statistics. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 81.78, b = 108.15, c = 119.86 A. The Matthews coefficient was 2.62 A(3) Da(-1) with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The solvent content was found to be 53%. Structure determination of the enzyme is under way.
