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

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) are a sustainable, green option for extraction and reaction media in biorefineries and various chemical and biotechnological applications. Particularly, enzymatic reactions profit from NADES applications, as these solvents help to maintain high substrate solubility while improving both enzyme stability and efficiency. Recent studies confirmed that NADESs can perform multiple functions simultaneously, as reaction media for biocatalytic conversions, but also as substrates and catalysts for reactions, fulfilling the role of a reactive solvent. This study reports the beneficial effect of designed reactive natural deep eutectic solvents (R-NADESs) on the esterification activity and thermal stability of free and immobilized lipases in the synthesis of polyol- and carbohydrate-based biosurfactants. We manufactured and characterized 16 binary and ternary R-NADES systems with choline chloride (ChCl) as the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and carbohydrate polyols; mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides; urea (U); N-methyl urea (MU); and water as the hydrogen bond donors (HBDs), in different combinations and molar ratios, most of which are reported for the first time in this paper. We determined their physicochemical, thermal, and molecular properties, including among others viscosity, polarizability, and the number of hydrogen bonds, and we showed that these properties are controlled by composition, molar ratio, molecular properties, temperature, and water content. Many lipases, both native and immobilized, showed high stability and remarkable catalytic performance in R-NADESs during esterification reactions.
