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

Glucuronoxylanase Xyn30D is a modular enzyme containing a family 30 glycoside hydrolase catalytic domain and an attached carbohydrate binding module of the CBM35 family. We present here the three-dimensional structure of the full-length Xyn30D at 2.4 Å resolution. The catalytic domain folds into an (α/β)8 barrel with an associated β-structure, whereas the attached CBM35 displays a jellyroll β-sandwich including two calcium ions. Although both domains fold in an independent manner, the linker region makes polar interactions with the catalytic domain, allowing a moderate flexibility. The ancillary Xyn30D-CBM35 domain has been expressed and crystallized, and its binding abilities have been investigated by soaking experiments. Only glucuronic acid-containing ligands produced complexes, and their structures have been solved. A calcium-dependent glucuronic acid binding site shows distinctive structural features as compared with other uronic acid-specific CBM35s, because the presence of two aromatic residues delineates a wider pocket. The nonconserved Glu(129) makes a bidentate link to calcium and defines region E, previously identified as specificity hot spot. The molecular surface of Xyn30D-CBM35 shows a unique stretch of negative charge distribution extending from its binding pocket that might indicate some oriented interaction with its target substrate. The binding ability of Xyn30D-CBM35 to different xylans was analyzed by affinity gel electrophoresis. Some binding was observed with rye glucuronoarabinoxylan in presence of calcium chelating EDTA, which would indicate that Xyn30D-CBM35 might establish interaction to other components of xylan, such as arabinose decorations of glucuronoarabinoxylan. A role in depolymerization of highly substituted chemically complex xylans is proposed.
