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

To produce high-, medium- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (HA) at different temperatures using engineered Bacillus subtilis expressing hyaluronidase (HAase) from leech. By overexpressing the HAase gene hya in the HA-producing strain WmB using temperature-sensitive plasmid pKSV7, the engineered strain WmB-PYh produced HA with different molecular weights (8.61 kDa at 32 °C, 0.615 MDa at 42 °C, and 6.19 MDa at 47 °C). In this study, the molecular weight of HA was regulated by using leech HAase expressed from a temperature-sensitive plasmid. We thus obtained different molecular weight HAs by using a single bacterial strain at different culture temperatures.
