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 gene (1,254 bp) encoding a lipase was identified from a deep-sea hydrothermal field thermophile Geobacillus sp. EPT9. The open reading frame of this gene encoded 417 amino acid residues. The gene was cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the target protein was purified to homogeneity. The purified recombinant enzyme presented a molecular mass of 44.8 kDa. When p-nitrophenyl palmitate was used as a substrate, the recombinant lipase was optimally active at 55 °C and pH 8.5. The recombinant enzyme retained 44 % residual activity after incubation at 80 °C for 1 h, which indicated that Geobacillus sp. EPT9 lipase was thermostable. Homology modeling of strain EPT9 lipase was developed with the lipase from Bacillus sp. L2 as a template. The core structure exhibits an α/β-hydrolase fold and the typical catalytic triad might consist of Ser142, Asp346, and His387. The enzymatic activity of EPT9 lipase was inhibited by addition of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, indicating that it contains serine residue, which plays an important role in the catalytic mechanism.
