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

When the products of hyaluronan (HA) digested by bovine testicular hyaluronidase (BTH) were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), minor peaks were detected just before the main even-numbered oligosaccharide peaks. The amount of each minor peak was dependent on the reaction conditions for transglycosylation, rather than hydrolysis, by the BTH. Mainly based on HPLC and MS analysis, each minor peak was found to correspond to its oligosaccharide with one N-acetyl group removed from the reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine. Enzymatic studies showed that the N-deacetylation activity was closely related to reaction temperature, pH, and the concentration of NaCl contained in the buffer, and glycosaminoglycan types and chain lengths of substrates. These findings strongly suggest that the N-deacetylation reaction in minor peaks was due to a novel enzyme contaminant in the BTH, N-deacetylase, that carries out N-deacetylation at the reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine of oligosaccharides and is dependent on HA hydrolysis by BTH.
