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

Laccases are versatile, multicopper oxidases with broad biotechnological applications due to their ability to oxidize a wide range of substrates. Here, we introduce a computational pipeline that combines sequence filtering, Monte Carlo simulations, and quantum mechanical spin density calculations to identify laccase candidates tailored to specific substrates from large databases. Using methyl syringate as a proof of concept, we selected 37 laccase sequences for heterologous expression in Aspergillus oryzae. Of these, 21 were produced in soluble form, and 7 showed significant activity. Further kinetic and biochemical analysis identified two candidates, KAI0175247.1 and EPT01171.1, that outperformed a commercial Myceliophthora thermophila laccase (Mtl) in catalytic activity, while also displaying comparable or higher optimal temperatures. At 30°C, KAI0175247.1 and EPT01171.1 exhibited approximately 2.7- and 1.8-fold higher k
