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

Subtilisin Carlsberg (alkaline protease from Bacillus licheniformis) catalyzes the syntheses of high molecular weights (ca. 20 KDa) cationic α-poly-L-lysine and amphiphilic poly(α-L-lysine-co-L-phenylalanine) in neat organic solvent. The synthesis is conducted in liquid 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane solvent, which is a hydrophobic non-toxic gas that does not deplete the ozone layer and approved for pharmaceutical applications. Solubility of substrates and adequate protease activity in this system with low water environment limits the reaction of hydrolysis of the growing peptide chains. The pressurization of this organic compressed fluid to liquid has low-pressure requirements (25 bar, 40 ºC), and its complete evaporation at atmospheric pressure after completing the reaction ensures solvent-free residues in products. The resulting polypeptides present null cytotoxicity according to MTT and NR analyses, as well as Calcein/EthD-1 assay in human cells.
