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 Aspergillus niger feruloyl esterase gene (faeA) was cloned into Saccharomyces cerevisiae via a yeast expression vector, resulting in efficient expression and secretion of the enzyme in the medium with a yield of ~2 mg/l. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity by anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The specific activity was determined to be 8,200 U/μg (pH 6.5, 20°C, 3.5 mM 4-nitrophenyl ferulate). The protein had a correct N-terminal sequence of ASTQGISEDLY, indicating that the signal peptide was properly processed. The FAE exhibited an optimum pH of 6-7 and operated optimally at 50°C using ground switchgrass as the substrate. The yeast clone was demonstrated to catalyze the release of ferulic acid continuously from switchgrass in YNB medium at 30°C. This work represents the first report on engineering yeast for the breakdown of ferulic acid crosslink to facilitate consolidated bioprocessing.
