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

Phospholipases can catalyze the hydrolysis of one or more ester and phosphodiester bonds and have a considerable interest in the food, oil leather and pharmaceutical industries. In this report, a lysophospholipase gene from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1 (LysoPL-tk) was cloned. The gene of 783 bp encodes a 260-amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 29 kDa. LysoPL-tk has a consensus motif (GxSxG) and a catalytic triad (S, D, H) of esterases in the deduced amino acid sequence. LysoPL-tk was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The enzyme can degrade substrates with both short and long acyl chain lengths. The apparent K (m) value for p-nitrophenyl butyrate was 607.1 μM with V (max) values of 95.5 U/mg. The enzyme was active at a broad range of pH (5-8) and temperatures (70-95 °C) with the optimum pH and temperature being 8.0 and 85 °C, respectively. The high yield, broad substrate range along with its thermo-stability indicates that LysoPL-tk is a potential enzyme in industrial application.
