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

α-Amylase catalyzes the endohydrolysis of α-1,4-glucosidic linkages in starch and related α-glucans. In the CAZy database, most α-amylases have been classified into the family GH13 counting at present more than 80,000 sequences and ~ 30 different enzyme specificities. The family has already been divided into 42 subfamilies, but additional subfamilies are still emerging. The present bioinformatics study was undertaken in an effort to propose a novel GH13 subfamily around the experimentally characterized α-amylase from the halophilic archaeon Haloarcula hispanica, which until now has not been assigned to any GH13 subfamily. The in silico analysis resulted in collecting a convincing group of putative haloarchaeal α-amylase homologues sharing sequence similarities mainly in their conserved sequence regions (CSRs) and forming a cluster in the evolutionary tree, which is well separated from representatives of established GH13 subfamilies. One of the most exclusive sequence features of the novel GH13 subfamily is the tyrosine (Tyr79 in H. hispanica α-amylase numbering) succeeding the glycine at the beginning of the CSR-VI at the β2 strand of the catalytic TIM-barrel. Evolutionarily, the novel GH13 α-amylase subfamily was most closely related to two clusters of GH13 subfamilies with the specificity of α-amylase, i.e. subfamilies GH13_5, 6 and 7 as well as GH13_15, 24, 27 and 28.
