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

(R)-Selective ω-transaminase (ω-TA) is a key enzyme for the asymmetric reductive amination of carbonyl compounds to produce chiral amines which are essential parts of many therapeutic compounds. However, its practical industrial applications are hindered by the low catalytic efficiency and poor thermostability of naturally occurring enzymes. In this work, we report the molecular modification of (R)-selective ω-TA from Aspergillus terreus (AtTA) to allow asymmetric reductive amination of 4-hydroxy-2-butanone, producing (R)-3-amino-1-butanol. Based on substrate docking analysis, 4 residues in the substrate tunnel and binding pocket of AtTA were selected as mutation hotspots. The screening procedure was facilitated by the construction of a "small-intelligent" library and the use of thin-layer chromatography for preliminary screening. The resulting mutant AtTA-M5 exhibited a 9.6-fold higher k
