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

Transglutaminase (TGase) has been widely applied in the food industry. However, achieving high-yield TGase production remains a challenge, limiting its broader industrial application. In this study, a high-yield strain with stable genetic traits was obtained through UV-ARTP combined mutagenesis, achieving a maximum TGase activity of 13.77 U/mL, representing a 92.43% increase. Using this strain as a forward mutation gene pool, comparative genomic research identified 95 mutated genes, which were mostly due to base substitutions that led to changes in codon usage preference. Transcriptomic analysis revealed significant expression changes in 470 genes, with 232 upregulated and 238 downregulated genes. By investigating potential key regulatory factors, comprehensive analysis indicated that changes in codon usage preference, amino acid metabolism, carbon metabolism, protein export processes, TGase activation, and spore production pathways collectively contributed to the enhancement of TGase activity. Subsequently, the in vitro activation efficiency of TGase was further improved using co-cultivation techniques with neutral proteases secreted by
