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

Lipase represents one of the most important industrial biocatalysts, with a global market value of $590.5 million by 2020. However, their catalytic efficiency is often hindered by a closed "lid" conformation. Here, we present an aggregation-induced conformation locking strategy that enables the facile synthesis of highly activated lipase hybrid biocatalysts. Lipase is self-activated into an open-lid conformation via solvent-mediated aggregation, followed by conformational locking within a two-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF). The resulting MOF biocatalyst provides high accessibility to the locked lipase aggregates through its long-range ordered pore channels, achieving a hydrolytic efficiency 5.30 times greater than that of native lipase. To the best of our knowledge, this represents a record-high activation efficiency for ester hydrolysis among the reported lipase-based hybrid biocatalysts to date. We also demonstrate its feasibility to catalytically accelerate transesterification and esterification reactions, showing up to as 6.64 times higher yield than native lipase and impressive recyclability.
