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

Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are promiscuous enzymes whose main function is the detoxification of electrophilic compounds. These enzymes are characterized by structural modularity that underpins their exploitation as dynamic scaffolds for engineering enzyme variants, with customized catalytic and structural properties. In the present work, multiple sequence alignment of the alpha class GSTs allowed the identification of three conserved residues (E137, K141, and S142) at α-helix 5 (H5). A motif-directed redesign of the human glutathione transferase A1-1 (hGSTA1-1) was performed through site-directed mutagenesis at these sites, creating two single- and two double-point mutants (E137H, K141H, K141H/S142H, and E137H/K141H). The results showed that all the enzyme variants displayed enhanced catalytic activity compared to the wild-type enzyme hGSTA1-1, while the double mutant hGSTA1-K141H/S142H also showed improved thermal stability. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed the molecular basis of the effects of double mutations on enzyme stability and catalysis. The biochemical and structural analysis presented here will contribute to a deeper understanding of the structure and function of alpha class GSTs.
