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

In a previous study, we reported an alkaliphilic and thermostable endoglucanase (BsGH7-3) of glycoside hydrolase family 7 (GH7) from the hemibiotrophic plant pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana. However, the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme was lower than for some other endoglucanases of the GH7 family reported in the literature. To engineer a more active enzyme, we identified conserved residues in the substrate-binding tunnel and on the surface of the protein that could play a role in charge-charge interaction and stabilize the structure. The mutants D257W and Q225H in the substrate-binding tunnel and Y222R and Q401N on the protein surface showed a 2-fold increase in specific activity and a 1.5-fold increase in turnover number and were active over a broader range of pH. The mutants also showed a higher tolerance to NaCl. The rational design of the BsGH7-3 mutants helped in increasing the catalytic efficiency of the thermostable enzyme and may be useful in combination with other cellulases like cellobiohydrolase and β-glucosidase towards complete saccharification of cellulose into glucose.
