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

backgroundIonic liquids (ILs) are a promising alternative for organic solvents because these liquids exhibit unique properties and enhanced steroid 1-dehydrogenation biotransformation caused by Arthrobacter simplex CPCC 140451 (ASP). However, the effect of ILs on the whole cell itself remains poorly understood and must be further investigated.

resultsA comparative investigation was performed to determine the effect of imidazolium-based ILs, namely, hydrophobic [PrMIm]PF6, and hydrophilic [PrMIm]BF4, on the steroid conversion, activity, permeability, and material basis of ASP cells. Both ILs weakened permeability barriers, enhanced steroid transformation, whereas reduced the activity of cells. The influence of [PrMIm]PF6 on the steroid conversion, permeability and activity of cells is more serious than that of [PrMIm]BF4 Transmission electron microscopy micrographs directly showed wrinkles, gross creases, and several small pores in ILs-treated cells surface. The total lipid content of [PrMIm]BF4-treated cells reduced by 8.3 %, while that of [PrMIm]PF6-treated cells reduced twice more, among which the content of long-chain fatty acids was decreased, whereas the content of unsaturated fatty acids was increased. The protein profile of LC-MS/MS revealed that the reduced proteins of cells treated with the two ILs were mainly located in the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, 19.27 % of reduced proteins were located on the cell membrane for [PrMIm]PF6-pretreated cells, whereas only 12.8 % for [PrMIm]BF4-pretreated cells. It suggests that most reduced proteins functioned in energy production and conversion, material transport and metabolism, signal recognition and transmission, transcription, and translation and posttranslational modification. In particular, the identified differential proteins functioned in the pentose phosphate pathway, synthesis of purines and pyrimidines, and oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid pathway.

conclusionTreatment with ILs improved permeability at the molecular level and exerted significant positive effects on steroid conversion. This study provides a material basis and elucidates the mechanisms underlying cellular changes that enhanced conversion rate.
