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

Pichia pastoris pGAP (glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase promoter) expression system was widely used for the expression and production of heterologous proteins. Screening multi-copy recombinants was an effective strategy to improve the heterologous protein production in P. pastoris. Because multiple gene insertion events occurred with a low frequency, hundreds to thousands of antibiotic-resistance recombinants need to be screened. The common way of improving screening efficiency was to increase antibiotic concentration in screening plates. Here we developed a screening method by selecting small colonies from low-concentration antibiotic screening plates. This strategy greatly improved the probability of obtaining multi-copy mannanase gene (man) recombinants and it could replace the common strategy by increasing antibiotic concentration in screening plates. The further study in liquid shake flask cultures revealed that cell concentrations, growth rates and substrate consumption rates of recombinants gradually decreased with the increase in man copy number. This indicated that such a screening strategy was effective to screen multi-copy recombinants based on colony size.
