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

Chitosanases can catalyze the release of chitooligosaccharides which have a number of medical applications. Therefore, Chitosanases are good candidates for large-scale enzymatic synthesis due to their favorable thermostability properties and high catalytic efficiency. To further improve the thermostability of a chitosanase from Bacillus sp. TS, which has a half-life of 5.32 min, we mutated specific serine residues that we identified as potentially relevant through structure comparison with thermophilic CelA from Clostridium thermocellum. Out of a total of 15 mutants, three, namely S265G, S276A, and S347G, show higher thermostability. Their half-lives at 60 °C were calculated as 34.57 min, 36.79 min and 7.2 min. The K
