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

Potent lipase-producing and halotolerant Bacillus altitudinis Ant19 strain was screened and isolated from Antarctic soil. The isolate showed broad-range lipase activity against different lipid substrates. Presence of lipase activity was confirmed by PCR amplification and sequencing of the lipase gene from Ant19. The study attempted to establish the use of crude extracellular lipase extract as cheap alternative to purified enzyme by characterizing the crude lipase activity and testing it in certain practical applications. Crude lipase extract from Ant19 showed high stability at 5-28 ℃ (> 97%), while lipase activity was noted in a wide temperature range of 20-60 ℃ (> 69%), with optimum activity at 40 ℃ (117.6%). The optimum lipolytic activity was noted at pH 8 with good activity and stability in alkaline conditions (pH 7-10). Moreover, the lipase activity was substantially stable in various solvents, commercial detergents, and surfactants. It retained 97.4% activity in 1% solution of commercial Nirma detergent. Besides, it was non-regiospecific, and active against substrates having different fatty acid chain lengths with preference for shorter chain length. Further, the crude lipase enhanced the oil stain removal efficiency of commercial detergent from 52 to 77.9%, while 66% oil stain was removed using crude lipase alone. Immobilization process improved the storage stability of crude lipase for 90 days. In our knowledge, it is the first study on characterization of lipase activity from B. altitudinis, which has promising applications in various fields.
