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

Amylomaltase (AM) catalyzes transglycosylation of starch to form linear or cyclic oligosaccharides with potential applications in biotechnology and industry. In the present work, a novel AM from the mesophilic bacterium Streptococcus agalactiae (SaAM), with 18-49% sequence identity to previously reported AMs, was characterized. Cyclization and disproportionation activities were observed with the optimum temperature of 30 °C and 40 °C, respectively. Structural determination of SaAM, the first crystal structure of small AMs from the mesophiles, revealed a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate derived from acarbose and a second acarbose molecule attacking the intermediate. This pre-transglycosylation conformation has never been before observed in AMs. Structural analysis suggests that thermostability in AMs might be mainly caused by an increase in salt bridges since SaAM has a lower number of salt bridges compared with AMs from the thermophiles. Increase in thermostability by mutation was performed. C446 was substituted with A/S/P. C446A showed higher activities and higher k
