A High-Throughput Investigation of the Binding Specificity of Carbohydrate-Binding Modules for Synthetic and Natural Polymers.
Article in ChemSusChem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are noncatalytic domains that enhance enzyme binding to substrates. Type A CBMs show potential for engineering plastic-degrading enzymes due to their affinity for synthetic polymers. This study presents a high-throughput screening pipeline for characterizing the affinity and specificity of type A CBMs towards the synthetic polymers polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE), and the polysaccharides cellulose, chitin, and starch. ≈800 CBMs from the families CBM2, CBM3, CBM10, and CBM64 are expressed as green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion proteins and tested for binding using a modified holdup assay, which produced up to 10 000 data points per day. The screening identifies ≈150 binders for PET and PE, around 250 for PS, and demonstrates family-specific binding patterns for avicel, chitin, and starch. To demonstrate practical utility, four CBMs with high PET affinity are fused to the PET hydrolase LCC
