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

Bacillus thuringiensis is an insecticidal bacterium whose chitinolytic system has been exploited to improve insect resistance in crops. In the present study, we studied the CBP24 from B. thuringiensis using homology modeling and molecular docking. The primary and secondary structure analyses showed CBP24 is a positively charged protein and contains single domain that belongs to family CBM33. The 3D model after refinement was used to explore the chitin binding characteristics of CBP24 using AUTODOCK. The docking analyses have shown that the surface exposed hydrophilic amino acid residues Thr-103, Lys-112 and Ser-162 interact with substrate through H-bonding. While, the amino acids resides Glu-39, Tyr-46, Ser-104 and Asn-109 were shown to have polar interactions with the substrate. The binding energy values evaluation of docking depicts a stable intermolecular conformation of the docked complex. The functional characterization of the CBP24 will elucidate the substrate-interaction pathway of the protein in specific and the carbohydrate binding proteins in general leading towards the exploration and exploitation of the prokaryotic substrate utilization pathways.
