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

Catalase, an industrially important enzyme, catalyzes the hydrolysis of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, playing a crucial role in various industries, including wastewater treatment in the textile sector. This study aimed to clone and express the catalase gene from Kocuria rhizophila ATCC 9341 into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), then characterize the purified enzyme and evaluate its potential for hydrogen peroxide degradation in textile wastewater. The 1524 bp gene was amplified and ligated into pET-21a( +) using the T4 DNA ligase enzyme. The expression of the recombinant catalase gene in E. coli BL21(DE3) was verified by using Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis, with an estimated molecular weight of 57 kDa. The purified enzyme demonstrated a specific activity of 109.55 U/mg, optimal activity at pH 7-7.5, and 50 °C. The enzyme showed significant stability up to 80 °C and in a wide range of pH (4.0-9.0) by retaining up to 70% activity. The enzyme was also found to be resistant to several organic solvents, EDTA, β-mercaptoethanol, and metal ions, but was inhibited by Cu
