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

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are used in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, as well as agriculture and environmental engineering. Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) is an important industrial extracellular enzyme which is used to produce CDs and oligosaccharides. We previously developed a novel yeast-surface CGTase expression system which was used for the production of CDs from starch. In the present study, we showed that the presence of CDs may increase the ethanol tolerance of microorganisms. The cell numbers of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli in the presence of β-cyclodextrin and ethanol were 1,000-fold and 10-fold higher than that without CDs. The yeast strain with the immobilized CGTase produced 13 g CDs/l and 1.8 g ethanol/l when it was incubated in yeast medium supplemented with 4% starch. The effect of CDs on microorganisms suggests a potential application for the co-production of CDs and ethanol.
