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

backgroundEscherichia coli heat labile toxin B subunit (LTB) is one of the most popular oral vaccine adjuvants and intestine adsorption enhancers. It is often expressed as a fusion partner with target antigens to enhance their immunogenicity as well as gut absorbability. However, high expression levels of a fusion protein are critical to the outcome of immunization experiments and the success of subsequent vaccine development efforts. In order to improve the expression and functional assembly of LTB-fusion proteins using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we compared their expression under culture conditions at a sub-physiological temperature 20 °C with their expression under a standard 30 °C.

resultsThe assembled expression of LTB-EDIII

conclusionsThe effects of lowering the expression temperature from 30 °C to 20 °C on protein expression and folding levels in S. cerevisiae, using several proteins as models, are reported. When heterologous proteins are expressed at 20 °C, a greater amount of (specially, more assembled) functional proteins accumulated than at 30 °C. Although further studies are required to understand the molecular mechanisms, our results suggest that lowering the expression temperature is a convenient strategy for improving the expression of relatively complexly structured and difficult-to-express proteins in S. cerevisiae.
