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

Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic molecules on Earth and play essential roles in biology. Natural glycosidases cleave glycosidic linkages using a pair of conserved carboxylic acid residues. Here we report the direct synthesis of nanozymes that mimic glycosidases through molecular imprinting of thiosemicarbazide-derived glycan templates, prepared in one step from unprotected mono- or oligosaccharides. The thiosemicarbazide group binds strongly to a dicarboxylic acid functional monomer (FM), enabling installation of the double-acid catalytic motif into the imprinted active site. The resulting nanozymes cleave glycosidic bonds in oligo- and polysaccharides (e.g., cellobiose and cellulose) by a mechanism analogous to retaining glycosidases. Molecular imprinting also allows the active site to accommodate a single or predefined number of sugar residues, tuning both the size of the pocket and the distance between binding and catalytic groups, thereby enabling rational control of the cleavage site along the substrate.
