Engineering Strategies for Oral Therapeutic Enzymes to Enhance Their Stability and Activity.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Oral application of therapeutic enzymes is a promising and non-invasive administration that improves patient compliance. However, the gastrointestinal tract poses several challenges to the oral delivery of proteins, including harsh pH conditions and digestive proteases. A promising way to stabilise enzymes during their gastrointestinal route is by modification with polymers that can provide both steric shielding and selective interaction in different digestive compartments. We give an overview of modification technologies for oral enzymes ranging from functionalisation of native proteins, to site-specific mutation and protein-polymer engineering. We specifically focus on enzymes that are active directly in the gastrointestinal lumen and not systemically absorbed. In addition, we discuss examples of microparticle and nanoparticle encapsulated enzymes for improved oral delivery. The modification of orally administered enzymes offers a broad chemical variability and may be a promising tool for enhancing their gastrointestinal stability.
