A comprehensive review on microbial hyaluronan-degrading enzymes: from virulence factors to biotechnological tools.
Review in Bioresources and bioprocessing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Hyaluronan (HA), a natural high molecular weight polysaccharide, has extensive applications in cosmetology and medical treatment. Hyaluronan-degrading enzymes (Hyals) act as molecular scissors that cleave HA by breaking the glucosidic linkage. Hyals are present in diverse organisms, including vertebrates, invertebrates and microorganisms, and play momentous roles in biological processes. In recent years, microbial Hyals (mHyals) have gained considerable attention for their exceptional performance in the production and processing of HA. Moreover, the applications of mHyals have been greatly extended to various biomedical fields. To explore the potential applications of mHyals, a thorough comprehension is imperative. In this context, this review systematically summarizes the sources, structures, mechanisms and enzymatic properties of mHyals and discusses their biological functions in host invasion, disease development, and regulation of intestinal flora. Furthermore, versatile applications inspired by their biological functions in medicine development, molecular biology, and industrial biotechnology are comprehensively reviewed. Finally, prospects are presented to emphasize the importance of exploration, expression and characterization of mHyals and the necessity of excavating their potential in biotechnological fields.
