Kinetic characterization of cholinesterases and a therapeutically valuable cocaine hydrolase for their catalytic activities against heroin and its metabolite 6-monoacetylmorphine.
Article in Chemico-biological interactions, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
As the most popularly abused one of opioids, heroin is actually a prodrug. In the body, heroin is hydrolyzed/activated to 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM) first and then to morphine to produce its toxic and physiological effects. It has been known that heroin hydrolysis to 6-MAM and morphine is accelerated by cholinesterases, including acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and/or butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). However, there has been controversy over the specific catalytic activities and functional significance of the cholinesterases, which requires for the more careful kinetic characterization under the same experimental conditions. Here we report the kinetic characterization of AChE, BChE, and a therapeutically promising cocaine hydrolase (CocH1) for heroin and 6-MAM hydrolyses under the same experimental conditions. It has been demonstrated that AChE and BChE have similar k
