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

A two-step PCR protocol was used to identify and sequence a family 11 xylanase gene from Dictyoglomus thermophilum Rt46B.1. Family 11 xylanase consensus fragments (GXCFs) were amplified from Rt46B.1 genomic DNA by using different sets of consensus PCR primers that exhibited broad specificity for conserved motifs within fungal and/or bacterial family 11 xylanase genes. On the basis of the sequences of a representative sample of the GXCFs a single family 11 xylanase gene (xynB) was identified. The entire gene sequence was obtained in the second step by using genomic walking PCR to amplify Rt46B.1 genomic DNA fragments upstream and downstream of the xynB GXCF region. The putative XynB peptide (M(r), 39,800) encoded by the Rt46B.1 xynB open reading frame was a multidomain enzyme comprising an N-terminal catalytic domain (M(r), 22,000) and a possible C-terminal substrate-binding domain (M(r), 13,000) that were separated by a short serine-glycine-rich 23-amino-acid linker peptide. Seven xylanases which differed at their N and C termini were produced from different xynB expression plasmids. All seven xylanases exhibited optimum activity at pH 6.5. However, the temperature optima of the XynB xylanases varied from 70 to 85 degrees C. Pretreatment of Pinus radiata and eucalypt kraft-oxygen pulps with XynB resulted in moderate xylan solubilization and a substantial improvement in the bleachability of these pulps.
