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

A novel endoprotease Endo-Pro-Aspergillus niger (endoprotease EPR) was first successfully expressed at high level in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris and the purification procedure was established. The endoprotease EPR is 95 % identity with proline specific endopeptidase from A. niger CBS513.88 (EMBL; AX458699), while sharing low identity with those from other microorganisms. The purified endoprotease EPR was a monomer of 60 kDa. Furthermore, the peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) analysis confirmed that the purified protein was an endoprotease Endo-Pro-Aspergillus niger. A three-dimensional model revealed that the active site of the enzyme was located in Ser(179)-Asp(458)-His(491), based on template 3n2zB with sequence identity of 17.6 %. The optimum pH and temperature of the endoprotease EPR were pH 4-5 and 35 °C, and the stabilities were pH 3-7 and 15-60 °C, respectively. Furthermore, the endoprotease EPR had the ability to digest peptides with the C-terminal of proline as well as alanine, and was also capable of hydrolyzing larger peptides. The properties of the endoprotease EPR made it a highly promising candidate for future application in the field of brewing and food process.
