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.
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
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of positional and geometric isomers of octadecadienoic fatty acid with conjugated double bonds. CLA possesses many important physiological functions and it can be produced from linoleic acid (LA) by LA isomerases. In this report, we first cloned the genes encoding LA isomerases: C12 isomerases and C9 isomerase, then transformed the recombinant plasmids into Escherichia coli TOP10 and induced E. coli with IPTG (isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside) to express the recombinant proteins. Next, we purified the isomerases using a HisTrap™ HP column, followed with the analysis by SDS-PAGE or Western blot. Finally, we compared their enzymatic activity by biotransformation of LA into CLA. Plasmids containing LA isomerase genes were successfully constructed. LA isomerases were found expressed in E. coli, and the molecular weight was 64 KD for C12 LA isomerase and 55 KD for C9 LA isomerase. The enzyme activity (9.93 ± 0.01 U/ml for C12 LA isomerase and 8.12 ± 0.02 U/ml for C9 LA isomerase) of both LA isomerases reached the highest when IPTG concentration is 0.2 mM and the induction time is 18 h. After purification, C9 LA isomerase was enriched in peak 4 and C12 LA isomerase was enriched in peak 3. Optimum pH for C9 LA and C12 LA isomerases were 7.5 and 7.0 separately, and optimum temperatures was 37 °C for highest concentration of CLA. The work may provide theoretical significance for an effective production process of CLA for the medical and nutritional purposes.
