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 genome sequence of Pyrobaculum calidifontis contains two open reading frames, Pcal_0144 and Pcal_0970, exhibiting homology with L-asparaginases. In search of a thermostable L-asparaginase with no glutaminase activity, we have cloned and expressed the gene encoding Pcal_0970 in Escherichia coli. Recombinant Pcal_0970 was produced in insoluble and inactive form which was solubilized and refolded into enzymatically active form. The refolded Pcal_0970 showed the highest activity at or above 100 °C. Optimum pH for the enzyme activity was 6.5. Addition of divalent metal cations or EDTA had no significant effect on the activity. The enzyme was capable of hydrolyzing D-asparagine with a 20% activity as compared to 100% with L-asparagine. Pcal_0970 did not show any detectable activity when L-glutamine or D-glutamine was used as substrate. Pcal_0970 exhibited a K
