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

Xylanase is one of the most important hemicellulases in industry. However, its low thermostability limits its applications. In this study, one thermostable xylanase-producing strain 400264 was obtained from screening 11 Aspergillus niger strains (producing thermotolerant xylanase), and the optimum temperature of crude xylanase extracted from it was 55°C. Original activity of the crude xylanase is 64% at 60°C and 55% at 85°C with an incubation time of 30 min, respectively. After the expression of recombinant xylanase gene (xynA/xynB), the XYNB (xylanase B) showed higher thermostability than XYNA (xylanase A). Recombinant enzyme XYNB retained 94% of its activity for 10 min at 85°C, while XYNA with no activity left. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed to replace Ala33 of XYNB by Ser33 resulting 19% decrease in enzyme activity after incubating at 85°C for 30 min. It suggested that the Ala33 residue may have a certain effect on the thermophilic adaptation of xylanase.
