A review of the enzymatic hydrolysis of mannans and synergistic interactions between β-mannanase, β-mannosidase and α-galactosidase.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers.
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.
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
Mannan is an important polysaccharide found in softwoods and many other plant sources. Mannans from various sources display large differences in composition, structure and complexity. To hydrolyse mannan into its monomer sugars requires a number of enzymes working in synergy. This review examines mannan structure and the enzymes required for its hydrolysis. Several studies have investigated the effect of supplementing β-mannanases with β-mannosidases and α-galactosidases in binary and ternary combinations. Synergistic enhancement of hydrolysis has been found in some, but not all cases. In the case of mannosidases, they sometimes display an anti-synergistic effect with mannanases, most likely due to competition for binding sites. Most importantly, in the case of α-galactosidases, the same enzyme from different families display differences in synergistic interactions due to different specificities. An improved understanding of enzyme interactions will aid in achieving enhanced hydrolysis of mannans and higher sugar yields. This review highlights areas which require further research in order to gain a better understanding of mannan hydrolysis and utilisation. Such knowledge is very important as this can be used in the optimisation of commercial or purified enzyme mixtures to improve the economic viability of the conversion of high mannan-containing biomass such as softwoods into fermentable sugars for bioethanol production.
