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 halophilic archaeon, Halorubrum sp. strain Ha25, produced extracellular halophilic organic solvent-tolerant amylopullulanase. The maximum enzyme production was at high salt concentration, 3-4 M NaCl. Optimum pH and temperature for enzyme production were 7.0 and 40 °C, respectively. Molecular mass of purified enzyme was estimated to be about 140 kDa by SDS-PAGE. This enzyme was active on pullulan and starch as substrates. The apparent Km for the enzyme activity on pullulan was 4 mg/ml and for soluble starch was 1.8 mg/ml. Optimum temperature for amylolytic and pullulytic activities was 50 °C. Optimum pH for amylolytic activity was 7 and for pullulytic activity was 7.5. This enzyme was active over a wide range of concentrations (0-4.5 M) of NaCl. The effect of organic solvents on the enzyme activities showed that this enzyme was more stable in the presence of non-polar organic solvents than polar solvents. This study is the first report on amylopullulanase production in halophilic bacteria and archaea.
