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

Enzymes capable of performing selective chemical transformations under benign and environmentally friendly conditions are attractive alternatives to synthetic catalysts. The inherent instability of many enzymes is, however, an impediment to their widespread application. Here, we demonstrate that biomimetic crystallization provides a route to metal-organic framework (MOF)-enzyme composites that are stable in aqueous and organic solvents, and can be reused over multiple reaction cycles. We show that for silicatein, an enzyme with established stability challenges, this approach extends the enzymatic half-life at room temperature from one week to one month. We also demonstrate how changes in the MOF structure affect the solution processability, driving enhanced catalytic performance. Biomimetic MOF crystallization thus represents a robust approach to the stabilization of biocatalysts for process intensification.
