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

The arsC gene-encoded arsenate reductase is a vital catalytic enzyme for remediation of environmental arsenic (As). Microorganisms containing the arsC gene can convert pentavalent arsenate (As[V]) to trivalent arsenite (As[III]) to be either retained in the bacterial cell or released into the air. The molecular mechanism governing this process is unknown. Here we present an in silico model of the enzyme to describe their probable active site cavities using SCFBio servers. We retrieved the amino acid sequence of bacterial arsenate reductase enzymes in FASTA format from the NCBI database. Enzyme structure was predicted using the I-TASSER server and visualized using PyMOL tools. The ProSA and the PROCHECK servers were used to evaluate the overall significance of the predicted model. Accordingly, arsenate reductase from Streptococcus pyogenes, Oligotropha carboxidovorans OM5, Rhodopirellula baltica SH 1, and Serratia ureilytica had the highest quality scores with statistical significance. The plausible cavities of the active site were identified in our examined arsenate reductase enzymes which were abundant in glutamate and lysine residues with 6 to 16 amino acids. This in silico experiment may contribute greatly to the remediation of arsenic pollution through the utilization of microbial species.
