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 alginate lyases are essential biocatalysts for analyzing alginate structure and sustainably producing bioactive alginate oligosaccharides (AOS). In this study, we characterized Aly94, a novel alginate lyase from the polysaccharide lyase family 6 (PL6) family, identified from a marine sediment metagenomic library. Biochemical analyses showed Aly94 exhibits optimal activity at 40 ℃ in 50 mM NaH₂PO₄-Na₂HPO₄ buffer (pH 7.0). Adding 20 mM NaCl significantly increases its catalytic efficiency. The enzyme exhibits a strong preference for polyguluronate (polyG) over polymannuronate (polyM), with specific activities of 4.19 U/mg (polyG), 0.25 U/mg (polyM), and 2.45 U/mg (alginate). When degrading substrates-particularly polyG-Aly94 primarily generates trisaccharides. Although Aly94 acts as an endolytic alginate lyase, it also could digest the monosaccharides from small oligosaccharide chains (∆G3, ∆G4). These catalytic properties, combined with its polyG-specific depolymerization, made Aly94 a promising candidate for biotechnological applications requiring controlled alginate saccharification and high-value AOS production.
