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

In this study, the three urethanases TflABH, MthABH, and OspAmd, originating from two distinct enzyme superfamilies, are identified and characterized with respect to their potential in polyurethane (PUR) degradation. The substrate scope included five industrially relevant toluene diisocyanate- and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate-based carbamates with varied alcohol moieties, representative of intermediates from chemical PUR recycling. Notably, TflABH and MthABH are the first urethanases from an esterase superfamily shown to efficiently hydrolyze at least four of the five tested PU-related substrates. Among these, TflABH displayed exceptional thermostability, with a melting temperature (T
