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

Microrganisms from sea ice, glacial and subglacial environments are currently under investigation due to their relevant ecological functions in these habitats, and to their potential biotechnological applications. The cold-adapted Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H produces extracellular polysaccharides with cryoprotection activity. We here describe the purification and detailed molecular primary and secondary structure of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) secreted by C. psychrerythraea 34H cells grown at 4°C. The structure was determined by chemical analysis and NMR. The trisaccharide repeating unit of the EPS is constituted by a N-acetyl quinovosamine unit and two residues of galacturonic acid both decorated with alanine. In addition, the EPS was tested in vitro showing a significant inhibitory effect on ice recrystallization. In-depth NMR and computational analysis suggest a pseudohelicoidal structure which seems to prevent the local tetrahedral order of the water molecules in the first hydration shell, and could be responsible of the inhibition of ice recrystallization. As cell cryopreservation is an essential tool in modern biotechnology and medicine, the observations reported in this paper could pave the way for a biotechnological application of Colwellia EPS.
