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

A functional screening of 1152 clones from a plasmid library constructed with DNA extracted from Brazilian mangrove sediments revealed 3 positive clones for ester-hydrolyzing enzymes, or about one lipolytic gene per 1.2 Mb DNA, which corroborates the idea that oil-contaminated mangroves are a good source of novel microbial lipases/esterases. The partial sequence of the clone LipG7 (1179 bp) showed 30.2% of predicted structure identity with a known esterase, confirming LipG7 as a new member of family VIII esterases. LigG7 shared 80% sequence identity with 1,4-butanediol diacrylate esterase from the Gammaprotebacteria Porticoccus hydrocarbonoclasticus, suggesting it belongs to the Porticoccaceae family. LipG7 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta-Gami DE3; the purified recombinant enzyme exhibited a predicted molecular weight of 45.2 kDa and exceptional activity towards 4-nitrophenyl butyrate, compared with other recombinant esterases, highlighting its enormous potential for biological applications.
