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

Glycoside hydrolase (GH) 87-type α-1,3-glucanase hydrolyses the α-1,3-glucoside linkages of α-1,3-glucan, which is found in fungal cell walls and extracellular polysaccharides produced by oral Streptococci. In this study, we report on the molecular structure of the catalytic unit of GH 87-type α-1,3-glucanase, Agl-KA, from Bacillus circulans, as determined by x-ray crystallography at a resolution of 1.82 Å. The catalytic unit constitutes a complex structure of two tandemly connected domains-the N-terminal galactose-binding-like domain and the C-terminal right-handed β-helix domain. While the β-helix domain is widely found among polysaccharide-processing enzymes, complex formation with the galactose-binding-like domain was observed for the first time. Biochemical assays showed that Asp1067, Asp1090 and Asp1091 are important for catalysis, and these residues are indeed located at the putative substrate-binding cleft, which forms a closed end and explains the product specificity.
