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

Laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized on a Cu-silica aerogel carrier with a large surface area (370 m²/g). Its catalytic efficacy against various synthetic dyes was thoroughly evaluated. Under optimal immobilization conditions (25 °C, pH 4.5, 2% glutaraldehyde, 12 mg/g enzyme loading, 4 h), immobilization efficiency and activity retention reached 93%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the immobilization strategy. After 10 reuse cycles, the immobilized enzyme retained 80% of its original activity, indicating high operational durability. Additionally, the immobilized biocatalyst exhibited greater stability across a broader temperature range (up to 60 °C) and at pH 4.5 compared to the free enzyme. The kinetic data for 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP) showed a Km of 0.20 mM (free enzyme: 0.10 mM) and a Vmax of 178 µmol min⁻¹ mL⁻¹ (free enzyme: 69 µmol min⁻¹ mL⁻¹). For ABTS, the immobilized system had a Km of 0.35 mM (free: 0.20 mM) and a Vmax of 278 µmol min⁻¹ mL⁻¹ (free: 500 µmol min⁻¹ mL⁻¹), indicating a change in substrate affinity after immobilization. The enhanced catalytic efficiency of the immobilized enzyme was further confirmed by dye degradation tests, which showed 95% elimination of Methylene Blue within 24 h and complete removal of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 and Congo Red. This performance significantly exceeded that of the free enzyme. Therefore, Cu-silica aerogel-immobilized laccase is a strategically valuable biocatalyst with high catalytic efficiency, strong operational stability, and promising scalability, offering significant potential for industrial wastewater treatment and advanced environmental biotechnology applications.
