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

For expression of the alpha-galactosidase gene from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba in Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 6556 we have used the promoter of the homologous inulinase-encoding gene (INU1). The INU1 gene has been cloned and sequenced and the coding region shows an identity of 59% with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae invertase gene (SUC2). In the 5'-flanking region of INU1 we found a sequence (TAAATCCGGGG) that perfectly matches to the MIG1 binding consensus sequence (WWWWTSYGGGG) of the S. cerevisiae GAL1, GAL4 and SUC2 genes. Using the K. marxianus INU1 promoter and prepro-signal sequence, we obtained a high alpha-galactosidase production level (153 mg/l) and a secretion efficiency of 99%. Both the production level and the secretion efficiency were significantly reduced when the INU1 pro-peptide was deleted. With either the S. cerevisiae PGK or GAL7 promoter we could obtain only low alpha-galactosidase production levels (2 mg/l).
