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

Arazyme is an extracellular metalloprotease which is secreted by a Gram-negative symbiotic bacterium called Serratia proteomaculans. There are limited studies on various biological activities of arazyme. This preliminary study was designed to investigate the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory capacities of recombinant arazyme (rAra) in vitro and in vivo. Arazyme gene, araA was cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) using pET-28a as a vector. Nickel column purification was used to obtain pure rAra. SDS-PAGE and protein assay were used to identify the product and to measure protein content, respectively. Skimmed milk test and casein assay were carried out to assess protease activity. MCF7 cells as a breast cancer cell model were exposed to different concentrations of rAra to study anti-breast cancer potentials using MTT assay. The anti-inflammatory property of rAra was investigated using a murine air-pouch model. PCR and SDS-PAGE data showed that cloning and expression of rAra was successful and the enzyme of interest was observed at 52 KDa. Protein assay indicated that 1 mg/ml of rAra was obtained through purification. A clear zone around the enzyme on skimmed milk agar confirmed the proteolytic activity of rAra and the enzymatic activity was 320 U/mg protein in the casein assay. Cytotoxic effects of rAra reported as IC
