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

Microbial synthesis is a desirable approach to produce indirubin but suffers from low synthetic efficiency. Insufficient supply of reduced flavins is one major factor limiting synthetic efficiency. To address this, a novel flavin reductase, MoxB, was discovered through screening of the metagenomic library. MoxB showed a strong preference for NADH over NADPH as the electron source for FMN/FAD reduction and exhibited the highest activity at pH 8.0 and 30°C. It displayed remarkable thermostability by maintaining 80% of full activity after incubation at 60°C for 1 h. Furthermore, MoxB showed great organic solvent tolerance and its activity could be significantly increased by bivalent metal ions. In addition, heterologous expression of the
