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
This study explores the utilization of potato peel waste as a substrate for producing cold-adapted amylase under solid-state fermentation (SSF) using Penicillium goetzii AUMC 498. Optimization through Box-Behnken design identified pH, incubation period, and beef extract concentration as key factors, achieving a maximum activity of 4.21 U/g dry substrate at pH 7 and 10 °C after 6 days. The enzyme was purified via two-column chromatography (Trilite MA12 and Sephacryl S 200), resulting in a 63.6-fold increase in purity and a molecular weight of 51.91 kDa confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The purified amylase exhibited optimal activity at pH 5 and 25 °C, with sorghum starch as the preferred substrate (594.68 U/mg). Activity was significantly enhanced by MnSO₄ and ZnSO₄, while NiCl₂, SDS, and EDTA inhibited it. Kinetic constants for pure amylase were determined for six types of starch: soluble starch, sorghum starch, oat starch, maize starch, wheat starch, and rice starch. The Km values were 575.75 mM, 59.1 mM, 149.27 mM, 195.9 mM, 81.44 mM, and 37.48 mM, respectively. These findings demonstrate the effective conversion of potato peel waste into a value-added cold-adapted biocatalyst with desirable catalytic and stability characteristics. The ability of the enzyme to function efficiently at low temperatures highlights its strong potential for use in energy-efficient industrial processes, particularly in the food, detergent, textile, and starch-processing industries. Moreover, the utilization of agro-industrial waste as a fermentation substrate provides an environmentally sustainable and economically attractive approach, reinforcing the relevance of this study to waste valorisation strategies and green biotechnological applications.
