Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The immobilization of catalase onto stable, reusable supports is crucial for efficient peroxide-based biocatalytic applications. In this study, catalase was immobilized for the first time onto epoxy-functionalized kaolinite particles prepared via surface silanization with (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane. Structural and surface characterizations confirmed successful organosilane grafting while preserving the layered kaolinite framework. The modified support exhibited rapid enzyme uptake and a high immobilization capacity of approximately 300 mg g−1. Kinetic analysis showed a substantial decrease in Km from 57.3 mM (free catalase) to 21.6 mM after immobilization, indicating enhanced substrate affinity. In contrast, Vmax decreased due to diffusion limitations typical of heterogeneous systems. Despite this, catalytic efficiency increased nearly 1.8-fold. Moreover, immobilized catalase demonstrated significantly improved operational reusability and long-term storage stability compared to the free enzyme. These results highlight silanized kaolinite as a robust, low-cost, and efficient mineral-based support for catalase immobilization, with strong potential for environmental and industrial biocatalytic applications.
