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 plausible explanation behind the stability of thermophilic protein is still yet to be defined more clearly. Here, an in silico study has been undertaken by investigating the sequence and structure of protease from thermophilic (tPro) bacteria and mesophilic (mPro) bacteria. Results showed that charged and uncharged polar residues have higher abundance in tPro. In extreme environment, the tPro is stabilized by high number of isolated and network salt bridges. A novel cyclic salt bridge is also found in a structure of tPro. High number of metal ion-binding site also helps in protein stabilization of thermophilic protease. Aromatic-aromatic interactions also play a crucial role in tPro stabilization. Formation of long network aromatic-aromatic interactions also first time reported here. Finally, the present study provides a major insight with a newly identified cyclic salt bridge in the stability of the enzyme, which may be helpful for protein engineering. It is also used in industrial applications for human welfare.
