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

Immobilization of enzymes has been widely reported due to their reusability, thermal stability, better storage abilities, and so on. However, there are still problems that immobilized enzymes do not have free movements to react to substrates during enzyme reactions and their enzyme activity becomes weak. Moreover, when only the porosity of support materials is focused, some problems such as enzyme distortion can negatively affect the enzyme activity. Being a solution to these problems, a new function "floatability" of enzyme devices has been discussed. A "floatable" micron-sized enzyme device was fabricated to enhance the free movements of immobilized enzymes. Diatom frustules, natural nanoporous biosilica, were used to attach papain enzyme molecules. The floatability of the frustules, evaluated by macroscopic and microscopic methods, was significantly better than that of four other SiO
