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

Glucoamylases are inverting exo-acting starch hydrolases releasing β-glucose from the non-reducing ends of starch and related substrates. Due to the absence of glucoamylase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is not capable of utilizing starch directly as energy sources without enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis for its ethanol production. In this study, we heterologously expressed a previously isolated Rhizopus arrhizus glucoamylase gene in S. cerevisiae host. The expressed glucoamylase enzyme was secreted into the culture supernatant and exhibited a molecular weight of 68 kDa on SDS-PAGE gel and western blot. In the flask ferment experiment of S. cerevisiae growing on raw starch, the RaGA transformed strains could utilize starch as energy source to produce ethanol up to a final concentration as 5%.
