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

Biodegradation using a synergically integrated system of laccase (E.C. 1.10.3.2) and versatile peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.16) co-immobilized on the polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel presents a promising solution for removing endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like bisphenol A (BPA) from wastewater. In this study, we developed a tailored biocatalyst consisting of a fungal laccase from Pleurotus ostreatus IBL-02 and versatile peroxidase, enzyme cascade co-immobilized covalently on a 7% (w/v) PAM hydrogel, offering high catalytic potential across various pH and temperature ranges. The PAM-VP/Lac structure was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometry, revealing improved characteristics compared to free counterparts (FLac and FVP). The optimal pH for FLac, FVP, Lac/VP, and PAM-VP/Lac was 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively. PAM-VP/Lac exhibited optimal activity at 50-60 °C, higher than FLac, FVP, and Lac-VP. PAM-VP/Lac showed superior operational stability, retaining 99.2% of its activity after eight cycles, with an immobilization efficiency of 78.62 ± 1.15% and activity recovery of 33.71 ± 0.2%. It also demonstrated enhanced thermal stability, with a two-fold increase in half-life at 50-70 °C. Thermodynamic analysis showed significant improvements in stability parameters for PAM-VP/Lac. This system achieved complete BPA degradation within two and a half hr, highlighting its potential for industrial-scale environmental remediation.
