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

Findings show 21 fungal isolates belonging to eight genera recovered from Egyptian soils that have the potential to attack L-methionine under submerged conditions. Aspergillus flavipes had the most methioninolytic activity, giving the highest yield of L-methioninase (10.78 U/mg protein), rate of methionine uptake (93.0%), and growth rate (5.0 g/l), followed by Scopulariopsis brevicaulis and A. carneus. The maximum L-methioninase productivity (11.60 U/mg protein) by A. flavipes was observed using L-methionine (0.8%) as an enzyme-inductive agent and glucose (1%) as a co-dissimilated carbon source. A significant reduction in L-methioninase biosynthesis by A. flavipes was detected using carbon-free medium, suggesting the lack of ability to use L-methionine as a carbon and nitrogen source. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (0.25%), the best source of phosphorus, favors enzyme biosynthesis and enhances the level of methionine uptake by A. flavipes. The maximum L-methioninase productivity (12.58 U/mg protein) and substrate uptake (95.6%) were measured at an initial pH of 7.0.
