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

The accumulation of acetaminophen (APAP) in agricultural soils and water systems poses risks to ecosystems and public health. This study characterizes Acinetobacter sp. DL27, an APAP-degrading strain with broad temperature and pH adaptability, demonstrating its bioremediation potential in soil and wastewater. Through high-resolution mass spectrometry, we identified three novel metabolic intermediates, thereby refining the bacterial APAP degradation pathway. Multiomics analysis elucidated metabolic coordination and stress-tolerance mechanisms, leading to the identification of a novel amidase (AdA). Recombinant AdA exhibited activity over 10-60 °C and pH 4.0-10.0, with a Km of 8.96 ± 1.03 μM and a kcat/Km of 9.04 μM-1s-1, indicating higher catalytic efficiency than previously reported APAP amidases. Molecular dynamics simulations and site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that a Ser161-Ser185-Lys82 triad constitutes the catalytic center driving amide cleavage. These findings provide mechanistic insights into bacterial APAP biodegradation and highlight the practical application potential of strain DL27 and AdA.
