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

L-DOPA is a key pharmaceutical agent for treating Parkinson's, and market demand has exploded due to the aging population. There are several challenges associated with the chemical synthesis of L-DOPA, including complicated operation, harsh conditions, and serious pollution. A biocatalysis route for L-DOPA production is promising, especially via a route catalyzed by tyrosine phenol lyase (TPL). In this study, using TPL derived from Erwinia herbicola (Eh-TPL), a mutant Eh-TPL was obtained by integrating enzyme evolution and high-throughput screening methods. L-DOPA production using recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells harbouring mutant Eh-TPL was enhanced by 36.5% in shake flasks, and the temperature range and alkali resistance of the Eh-TPL mutant were promoted. Sequence analysis revealed two mutated amino acids in the mutant (S20C and N161S), which reduced the length of a hydrogen bond and generated new hydrogen bonds. Using a fed-batch mode for whole-cell catalysis in a 5 L bioreactor, the titre of L-DOPA reached 69.1 g L
