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

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a critical enzyme associated with controlling oxygen toxicity arising out of oxidative stress in any living system. A hyper-thermostable SOD isolated from a polyextremophile higher plant Potentilla atrosanguinea Lodd. var. argyrophylla (Wall. ex Lehm.) was engineered by mutation of a single amino acid that enhanced the thermostability of the enzyme to twofold. The engineered enzyme was functional from sub-zero temperature to >50°C, tolerated autoclaving (heating at 121°C, at a pressure of 1.1 kg per square cm for 20 min) and was resistant to proteolysis. The present work is the first example to enhance the thermostability of a hyper-thermostable protein and has potential to application to other proteins for enhancing thermostability.
