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

The industrial Leuconostoc strain B/110-1-2 producing dextran and dextran derivatives was taxonomically identified by 16S rRNA as L. citreum. Its dextransucrase enzymes were characterized according to their cellular location and reaction specificity. In the presence of sucrose, the strain B/110-1-2 produced two cell-associated dextransucrases (31.54% of the total glucosyltransferase activity) with molecular weights of 160 and 240 kDa and a soluble dextransucrase (68.46%) at 160-180 kDa. Two open reading frames (ORF) coding for L. citreum strain B/110-1-2 dextransucrases were identified. One of them shared a 52% identity with the alternansucrase ASR of L. citreum NRRL B-1355 and with a putative annotated alternansucrase sequence found in the genome of L. citreum KM20. The structural analysis (HPAEC-PAD, HPSEC, and (13)C-NMR) of the polymer and oligodextrans produced by the B/110-1-2 dextransucrases suggest this novel glucansucrase has specificity similar to a dextransucrase but not to an alternansucrase, producing a soluble linear dextran with glucose molecules linked mainly in α-1,6 and α-1,3 with α-1,4 branches. These results enhance the understanding of this industrially significant strain and will aid in distinguishing between physiologically similar Leuconostoc spp. strains.
