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

Microcystis viridis lectin (MVL), a sugar-binding protein originally isolated from freshwater blue-green algae Microcystis viridis, has been reported to have potent anti-HIV activity. In this paper, we described the expression and purification of recombinant-MVL (R-MVL) gene in E. coli. The results demonstrated that the R-MVL in shake flask cultures was primarily expressed either in the form of inclusion bodies at 37°C or in the soluble fraction at 23 °C. Secondly, a one-step purification based on nickel-affinity chromatography was employed and 15 mg of highly purified (>95%) R-MVL from 1 l of cell cultures was yielded. The purified R-MVL was then subjected to MALDI-TOF-MS analysis for protein identification. In conclusion, for the first time, the R-MVL was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli, which is useful for further study and large-scale cost-effective production of MVL protein.
