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

β-Galactosidase enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing β-D-galactose residues in β-galactosides. These enzymes are important in producing lactose-free dairy products, reducing the lactose content of whey in dairy products, and for production of galactooligosaccharides (GOS) as prebiotic additives to infant formula. To use β-galactosidases in industrial settings, enzyme immobilization procedures are used to enhance their activity and stability and to minimize enzyme quantities and cost. In this study, recombinant Bifidobacterium adolescentis β-galactosidase BgaC was immobilized in calcium alginate and gelatin cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. The kinetic parameters and stability properties of immobilized BgaC were characterized in comparison with free soluble enzyme. The K
