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

The biological effects of ribonucleases (RNases), such as the control of the blood vessels growth, the toxicity towards tumour cells and antiviral activity, require a detailed explanation. One of the most intriguing properties of RNases which can contribute to their biological effects is the ability to form dimers, which facilitates efficient RNA hydrolysis and the evasion of ribonuclease inhibitor. Dimeric forms of microbial RNase binase secreted by Bacillus pumilus (former B. intermedius) have only been found in crystals to date. Our study is the first report directly confirming the existence of binase dimers in solution and under natural conditions of enzyme biosynthesis and secretion by bacilli. Using different variants of gel electrophoresis, immunoblotting, size-exclusion chromatography and mass-spectrometry, we revealed that binase is a stable natural dimer with high catalytic activity.
