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

L-asparaginase is a crucial enzyme used in chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), its incorporation in the pediatric treatment protocols helped in achieving a high cure rate. However, immunogenic side-effects restrict its application and frequently result in stopping treatment. There is a current need for the identification of novel L-asparaginase with improved properties and lower adverse effects compared to those available in the market. L-asparaginase gene from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia), an isolated organism that was mentioned as a novel and excellent source for L- asparaginase, was cloned and expressed using E. coli DH5α and E. coli BL21(DE3). Investigations of different conditions of expression of recombinant L-asparaginase in E. coli BL21(DE3) using Box-Behnken design predicted maximum expression at 37 °C temperature, 250 rpm agitation, 0.83 mM isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside (IPTG) concentration after incubation for 17 h. The optimized expression conditions were validated using L-asparaginase activity assay. The obtained recombinant protein was purified using Ni-NTA spin column. SDS-PAGE demonstrated a single band of 17 KDa apparent molecular weight. The kinetic parameters were determined, and they exhibited a low Km value of 2.94 × 10
