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

Iron-containing alcohol dehydrogenases (Fe-ADHs) from hyperthermophiles represent a distinct class of oxidoreductases characterized by exceptional thermostability, catalytic versatility, and unique metal-dependent properties. Despite considerable sequence diversity, Fe-ADHs share conserved motifs and a two-domain architecture essential for iron coordination and NAD(P)H cofactor binding. Physiologically, these enzymes are predicted to function primarily in aldehyde detoxification and redox homeostasis, with some also participating in fermentative alcohol production. Their remarkable stability and catalytic efficiency highlight their potential as robust biocatalysts for high-temperature industrial bioprocesses. This review presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the biophysical, biochemical, and kinetic properties of Fe-ADHs, focusing on their thermostability, metal ion specificity, and catalytic mechanisms, as well as highlighting their potential for industrial biocatalytic applications.
