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

α-Glucosidase is in the glycoside hydrolase family 13 (13AG) and 31 (31AG). Only 31AGs can hydrate the D-glucal double bond to form α-2-deoxyglucose. Because 1,5-anhydrofructose (AF), having a 2-OH group, mimics the oxocarbenium ion transition state, AF may be a substrate for α-glucosidases. α-Glucosidase-catalyzed hydration produced α-glucose from AF, which plateaued with time. Combined reaction with α-1,4-glucan lyase and 13AG eliminated the plateau. Aspergillus niger α-glucosidase (31AG), which is stable in organic solvent, produced ethyl α-glucoside from AF in 80% ethanol. The findings indicate that α-glucosidases catalyze trans-addition. This is the first report of α-glucosidase-associated glucose formation from AF, possibly contributing to the salvage pathway of unutilized AF.
