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

In an effort to determine the physiological role of Arabidopsis thaliana Glx2-1, we attempted to uncover a substrate for the enzyme. Glx2-1 did not effectively process 192 diverse substrates found in a commercial screen used for microorganism identification or exhibit arylsulfatase, lactonase, or phosphotriesterase activities. However, Glx2-1 does exhibit beta-lactamase activity with k(cat)/KM values from 10(3) to 10(5) M(-1) s(-1). Glx2-1 can hydrolyze cephalosporins and carbapenems, albeit with rate constants slower than those of most metallo-beta-lactamases. The potential role of a beta-lactamase in the mitochondria of plant cells is briefly discussed.
