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

Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD; EC 4.1.1.15) is a unique pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that specifically catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-glutamic acid to produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which exhibits several well-known physiological functions. However, glutamate decarboxylase from different sources has the common problem of poor thermostability that affects its application in industry. In this study, a parallel strategy comprising sequential analysis and free energy calculation was applied to identify critical amino acid sites affecting thermostability of GAD and select proper mutation contributing to improve structure rigidity of the enzyme. Two mutant enzymes, D203E and S325A, with higher thermostability were obtained, and their semi-inactivation temperature (T
