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

Few liver microsomal cytochromes P450 (P450s), especially human P450s, are recombinantly expressed in bacteria as full-length proteins. Lack of the N-terminal membrane anchor hinders studies of the interactions of microsomal P450s with redox partners. Herein, we describe the successful expression of full-length human CYP2E1, referred to as hCYP2E1FLAL, in bacteria to give a yield of ∼704 nmol/L culture. This high-level expression was achieved due to the codon optimization strategy employed to reduce free energy for translation and growth temperature. The expressed hCYP2E1FLAL was purified with a single affinity column and contained no P420, the inactive form of P450. Compared with N-terminal truncated human CYP2E1 (hCYP2E1dH), hCYP2E1FLAL exhibits elevated enzyme activity toward prototypic substrates, chlorzoxazone and p-nitrophenol, with ∼2-fold increase in k
