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

In this study, we achieved the efficient synthesis of 2-O-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) from soluble starch by fusing a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) from Alkalimonas amylolytica α-amylase (CBMAmy) to cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Paenibacillus macerans. One fusion enzyme, CGT-CBMAmy, was constructed by fusing the CBMAmy to the C-terminal region of CGTase, and the other fusion enzyme, CGTΔE-CBMAmy, was obtained by replacing the E domain of CGTase with CBMAmy. The two fusion enzymes were then used to synthesize AA-2G from soluble starch as a cheap and easily soluble glycosyl donor. Under the optimal conditions, the AA-2G yields produced using CGTΔE-CBMAmy and CGT-CBMAmy were 2.01 g/liter and 3.03 g/liter, respectively, which were 3.94- and 5.94-fold of the yield from the wild-type CGTase (0.51 g/liter). The reaction kinetics of the two fusion enzymes were analyzed and modeled to confirm the enhanced specificity toward soluble starch. It was also found that, compared to the wild-type CGTase, the two fusion enzymes had relatively high hydrolysis and disproportionation activities, factors that favor AA-2G synthesis. Finally, it was speculated that the enhancement of soluble starch specificity may be related to the changes of substrate binding ability and the substrate binding sites between the CBM and the starch granule.
