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

Locusta migratoria apolipophorin III (apoLp-III) possesses the ability to exist as a water soluble amphipathic α-helix bundle and a lipid surface seeking apolipoprotein. The intrinsic ability of apoLp-III to transform phospholipid vesicles into reconstituted discoidal high-density lipoproteins (rHDL) has led to myriad applications. To improve the yield of recombinant apoLp-III, studies were performed in a bioreactor. Induction of apoLp-III expression generated a protein product that is secreted from E. coli into the culture medium. Interaction of apoLp-III with gas and liquid components in media produced large quantities of thick foam. A continuous foam fractionation process yielded a foamate containing apoLp-III as the sole major protein component. The yield of recombinant apoLp-III was ~0.2 g / liter bacterial culture. Mass spectrometry analysis verified the identity of the target protein and indicated no modifications or changes to apoLp-III occurred as a result of foam fractionation. The functional ability of apoLp-III to induce rHDL formation was evaluated by incubating foam fractionated apoLp-III with phosphatidylcholine vesicles. FPLC size exclusion chromatography revealed a single major population of particles in the size range of rHDL. The results described offer a novel approach to bioreactor-based apoLp-III production that takes advantage of its intrinsic biosurfactant properties.
