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 lipase has been recently isolated from a local Pseudomonas sp. (GQ243724). In the present study, we have tried to increase the organic solvent stability of this lipase using site-directed mutagenesis. Eight variants N219L, N219I, N219P, N219A, N219R, N219D, S251L, and S251K were designed to change the surface hydrophobicity of this enzyme with respect to the wild-type. Among these variants, the stability of N219L and N219I significantly increased in the presence of all tested organic solvents, whereas two mutants (N219R and N219D) significantly exhibited decreased stabilities in all the organic solvent studied, suggesting that improvement of hydrophobic patches on the enzyme surface enhances the stability in organic media. Furthermore, replacing Ser²⁵¹ with hydrophobic residues on the enzyme surface dramatically diminished its stability in the tested condition. In spite of the distance of the mutated sites from the active site, the values of k(cat) and K(m) were affected. Finally, structural analysis of the wild-type and mutated variants was carried out in the presence and absence of some organic solvents using circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy.
