Structural Insights into the Molecular Evolution of the Archaeal Exo-β-d-Glucosaminidase.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The archaeal exo-β-d-glucosaminidase (GlmA), a thermostable enzyme belonging to the glycosidase hydrolase (GH) 35 family, hydrolyzes chitosan oligosaccharides into monomer glucosamines. GlmA is a novel enzyme in terms of its primary structure, as it is homologous to both GH35 and GH42 β-galactosidases. The catalytic mechanism of GlmA is not known. Here, we summarize the recent reports on the crystallographic analysis of GlmA. GlmA is a homodimer, with each subunit comprising three distinct domains: a catalytic TIM-barrel domain, an α/β domain, and a β1 domain. Surprisingly, the structure of GlmA presents features common to GH35 and GH42 β-galactosidases, with the domain organization resembling that of GH42 β-galactosidases and the active-site architecture resembling that of GH35 β-galactosidases. Additionally, the GlmA structure also provides critical information about its catalytic mechanism, in particular, on how the enzyme can recognize glucosamine. Finally, we postulate an evolutionary pathway based on the structure of an ancestor GlmA to extant GH35 and GH42 β-galactosidases.
