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

Rhodanese, the primary cyanide-detoxifying enzyme, plays a crucial role in mitigating the harmful effects of cyanide present in various industrial waste materials, such as battery manufacturing effluents. The bioremediation of cyanide-contaminated environments relies on efficient detoxification mechanisms, making rhodanese a valuable enzyme for biotechnological applications. This research aimed to investigate the biochemical properties of purified rhodanese produced by Aspergillus welwitschiae LOT1, a fungal strain with promising cyanide detoxification capabilities. The purified rhodanese was obtained through fermentation, precipitation, and chromatographic separations, resulting in a homogeneous band of approximately 58 kDa with a specific activity of 374 RU/mg, 28-fold purification, and 14% recovery. The enzyme exhibited optimal cyanide detoxification at pH 7 and 60 °C, with stability observed between 30 and 50 °C and pH 8-10. All metal ions examined except for Cu
