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

Zearalenone contamination poses a continuing threat to food security and the health of the livestock industry; developing efficient, high-yield detoxifying enzyme formulations is therefore essential. This study aimed to achieve the high-level expression of zearalenone lactonohydrolase ZenG in Pichia pastoris. The resulting recombinant ZenG exhibited optimal activity at pH 8.0 and 50 °C, with a specific activity of 684 ± 2.17 U/mg. Replacing the α-factor signal peptide with the pre-Ost1-pro-α-factor signal peptide increased ZenG activity from 180.26 U/mL to 276.47 U/mL. Subsequent optimization of the gene dosage further boosted the yield to 479.52 U/mL. Co-expression of the molecular chaperones 100p-HAC and 55p-HAC1 elevated the enzyme activity to 557.85 U/mL and 582.01 U/mL, which correspond to 3.09-fold and 3.23-fold increases, respectively, compared to the initial G-α-ZenG strain. In conclusion, this study successfully constructed an engineered P. pastoris strain capable of highly efficient ZenG production, laying a solid foundation for its industrial-scale application.
