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

Genome sequence of hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrobaculum calidifontis revealed the presence of an open reading frame, Pcal_0768, corresponding to a putative 4-α-glucanotranferase belonging to glycoside hydrolases (GH) family 77. We have produced, in Escherichia coli, and purified recombinant Pcal_0768 which exhibited high disproportionation (690 U mg(-1)) activity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest ever reported activity for any member of family GH77. Maltooligosaccharides, when used as sole substrates, were disproportionated into linear maltooligohomologues. The analysis of the reaction end products revealed no evidence for the production of cycloamyloses. Catalytic activity of the enzyme remained unchanged in the presence or the absence of ionic and nonionic detergents. γ-cyclodextrin, an inhibitor of 4-α-glucanotransferases, did not show any inhibitory effect on Pcal_0768 activity. These properties make Pcal_0768 a potential candidate for starch processing industry.
