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 family 15 carbohydrate esterase (CE15) MZ0003, which derives from a marine Arctic metagenome, has a broader substrate scope than other members of this family. Here we report the crystal structure of MZ0003, which reveals that residues comprising the catalytic triad differ from previously-characterized fungal homologs, and resolves three large loop regions that are unique to this bacterial sub-clade. The catalytic triad of the bacterial CE15, which includes Asp 332 as its third member, closely resembles that of family 1 carbohydrate esterases (CE1), despite the overall lower structural similarity with members of this family. Two of the three loop regions form a subdomain that deepens the active site pocket and includes several basic residues that contribute to the high positive charge surrounding the active site. Docking simulations predict specific interactions with the sugar moiety of glucuronic-acid substrates, and with aromatically-substituted derivatives that serve as model compounds for the lignin-carbohydrate complex of plant cell walls. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate considerable flexibility of the sub-domain in the substrate-bound form, suggesting plasticity to accommodate different substrates is possible. The findings from this first reported structure of a bacterial member of the CE15 family provide insight into the basis of its broader substrate specificity.
