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

Enzyme-mediated systems have been widely employed for the biotransformation of environmental contaminants. However, the catalytic performance of free enzymes is restricted by the rapid loss of their catalytic activity, stability, and reusability. In this work, we developed an enzyme immobilization platform by elaborately anchoring fungal laccase onto arginine-functionalized boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS-Arg@Lac). BNNS-Arg@Lac showcased ∼75% immobilization yield and enhanced stability against fluctuating pH values and temperatures, along with remarkable reusability across six consecutive cycles, outperforming free natural laccase (nlaccase). A model pollutant, atrazine, was selected for a proof-of-concept demonstration, given the substantial environmental and public health concerns in agriculture runoff. BNNS-Arg@Lac-catalyzed atrazine degradation rate was nearly twice that of nlaccase. Moreover, BNNS-Arg@Lac consistently demonstrated superior atrazine degradation in synthetic agricultural wastewater and various mediator systems compared to nlaccase. Comprehensive product analysis unraveled distinct degradation pathways for BNNS-Arg@Lac and nlaccase. Overall, this research provides a foundation for the future development of enzyme-nanomaterial hybrids for degrading environmental chemicals and may unlock new potential for green and efficient resource recovery and waste management strategies.
