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

Microbial proteases offer significant advantages over conventional chemical methods due to their non-toxicity, biodegradability, and low energy requirements. This review comprehensively examines the production of proteases from bacteria, fungi, and yeast, and explores their diverse industrial applications. Established uses include food processing, leather processing, bioremediation, detergent formulation, waste management, and textile manufacturing. The review highlights emerging applications such as silk fiber degumming and silver recovery from X-ray film waste. Microbial proteases operate under diverse temperature and pH conditions, enabling their adaptation to a wide range of industrial processes. Notable examples include keratinases for leather and laundry applications, and specialized proteases for gluten-free food production. Future research should focus on identifying polyextremophile sources and developing techniques to improve enzyme efficiency for industrial scalability.
