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

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are small, spherical, nanoscale proteoliposomes released from Gram-negative bacteria that play an important role in cellular defense, pathogenesis, and signaling, among other functions. The functionality of OMVs can be enhanced by engineering developed for biomedical and biochemical applications. Here, we describe methods for directed packaging of enzymes into bacterial OMVs of E. coli using engineered molecular systems, such as localizing proteins to the inner or outer surface of the vesicle. Additionally, we detail some modification strategies for OMVs such as lyophilization and surfactant conjugation that enable the protection of activity of the packaged enzyme when exposed to non-physiological conditions such as elevated temperature, organic solvents, and repeated freeze/thaw that otherwise lead to a substantial loss in the activity of the free enzyme.
