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

Sialate-O-acetylesterase was purified almost 900-fold from particle-free supernatants of horse liver by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography and isoelectric focussing. The native enzyme on gel filtration exhibits a molecular weight of 54,000 Da. It was separated by isoelectric focussing into two forms with pI values of 4.8 and 5.7, respectively. The esterase with a lower pI hydrolyses only 9-O-acetyl groups from sialic acids (K(M) 1.1 mM), while that with the higher pI esterifies both 4- and 9-O-acetylated monosaccharides at similar rates (K(M) 0.3 M and 1.3 mM, respectively). Both forms are inactive with 7-O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid. Enzyme assays were carried out at the pH optimum (pH 8.4-8.6) using free O-acetylated sialic acids followed by direct analysis of the reaction products by isocratic anion-exchange HPLC. Glycosidically bound sialic acids can also be de-O-acetylated. Horse liver esterase seems to be an essential enzyme for the catabolism of 4-O-acetylated sialoglycoconjugates, since sialidase from this tissue cannot act on 4-O-acetylated sialic acids.
