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

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP; EC 2.4.2.1) is a key enzyme of the purine-salvage pathway. Its ability to transfer glycosyl residues to acceptor bases is of great biotechnological interest owing to its potential application in the synthesis of nucleoside analogues used in the treatment of antiviral infections and in anticancer chemotherapy. Although hexameric PNPs are prevalent in prokaryotes, some microorganisms, such as Bacillus subtilis, present both hexameric and trimeric PNPs. The hexameric PNP from B. subtilis strain 168, named BsPNP233, was cloned, expressed and crystallized. Crystals belonging to different space groups (P32(1), P2(1)2(1)2(1), P6(3)22 and H32) were grown in distinct conditions with pH values ranging from 4.2 to 10.5. The crystals diffracted to maximum resolutions ranging from 2.65 to 1.70 Å.
