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

Cytophaga hutchinsonii is an aerobic cellulolytic soil bacterium which was reported to use a novel contact-dependent strategy to degrade cellulose. It was speculated that cellooligosaccharides were transported into the periplasm for further digestion. In this study, we reported that most of the endoglucanase and -glucosidase activity was distributed on the cell surface of C. hutchinsonii.Cellobiose and part of the cellulose could be hydrolyzed to glucose on the cell surface. However, the cell surface cellulolytic enzymes were not sufficient for cellulose degradation by C. hutchinsonii. An outer membrane protein, CHU_1277, was disrupted by insertional mutation. Although the mutant maintained the same endoglucanase activity and most of the -glucosidase activity,it failed to digest cellulose, and its cellooligosaccharide utilization ability was significantly reduced, suggesting that CHU_1277 was essential for cellulose degradation and played an important role in cellooligosaccharide utilization. Further study of cellobiose hydrolytic ability of the mutant on the enzymatic level showed that the -glucosidase activity in the outer membrane of the mutant was not changed. It revealed that CHU_1277 played an important role in assisting cell surface -glucosidase to exhibit its activity sufficiently. Studies on the outer membrane proteins involved in cellulose and cellooligosaccharide utilization could shed light on the mechanism of cellulose degradation by C. hutchinsonii.
