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

Entrapment of glucose oxidase (GOx) within metallic gold converts this widely used enzyme into a general saccharide oxidase. The following sugar molecules were oxidized by the entrapped enzyme (in addition to D-glucose): fructose, xylose, L-glucose, glucose-6-phosphate, sucrose, lactose, methylglucoside, and the tri-saccharide raffinose. With the exception of raffinose, none of these sugars have a natural specific oxidase. The origin of this generalization of activity is attributed to the strong protein-gold 3D interactions and to the strong interactions of the co-entrapped CTAB with both the gold, and the protein. It is proposed that these interactions induce conformational changes in the channel leading to the active site, which is located at the interface between the two units of the dimeric GOx protein. The observations are compatible with affecting the specific conformation change of pulling apart and opening this gate-keeper, rendering the active site accessible to a variety of substrates. The entrapment methodology was also found to increase the thermal stability of GOx up to 100 °C and to allow its convenient reuse, two features of practical importance.
