Evaluation of lipase access tunnels and analysis of substance transport in comparison with experimental data.
Article in Bioprocess and biosystems engineering, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Lipases (E.C. 3.1.1.3) have buried active sites and used access tunnels in the transport of substrates and products for biotransformation processes. Computational methods are used to predict the trajectory and energy profile of ligands through these tunnels, and they complement the experimental methodologies because they filter data, optimizing laboratory time and experimental costs. Access tunnels of Burkholderia cepacia lipase (BCL), Candida rugosa lipase (CRL), and porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) and the transport of fatty acids, alcohols and esters through the tunnels were evaluated using the online server CaverWeb V1.0, and server calculation results were compared with experimental data (productivity). BCL showed higher productivity with palmitic acid-C16:0 (4029.95 µmol/h mg); CRL obtained productivity for oleic acid-C18:1 (380.80 µmol/h mg), and PPL achieved productivity for lauric acid-C12:0 (71.27 µmol/h mg). The highest probability of transport for BCL is through the tunnels 1 and 2, for CRL through the tunnel 1, and for PPL through the tunnels 1, 2, 3 and 4. Thus, the best in silico result was the transport of the substrates palmitic acid and ethanol and product ethyl palmitate in tunnel 1 of BCL. This result corroborates with the best result for the productivity data (higher productivity for BCL with palmitic acid-4029.95 µmol/h mg). The combination of in silico evaluation and experimental data gave similar results, demonstrating that in silico approaches are a promising alternative for reducing screening tests and minimizing laboratory time in the bio-catalysis area by identifying the lipases with the greatest reaction potential, as in the case of this proposal.
