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

The rhamnose utilization pathway in Pichia pastoris has not been clarified although this strain can grow well on rhamnose as a sole carbon source. In this study, four genes, PAS_chr4_0338, PAS_chr4_0339, PAS_chr4_0340, and PAS_chr4_0341, were, for the first time, predicted to be involved in rhamnose metabolism along with the previously identified gene PAS_chr1_4-0075. Moreover, expression of these genes, especially PAS_chr4_0341 and PAS_chr1_4-0075 designated as LRA4 and LRA3, was confirmed to significantly increase and clearly decrease in the presences of rhamnose and glucose, respectively. LRA4 encoding a putative L-2-keto-3-deoxyrhamnonate aldolase, was further confirmed via gene disruption and gene complementation to participate in rhamnose metabolism. Using β-galactosidase and green fluorescent protein as reporters, the promoters of LRA4 and LRA3 performed well in driving efficient production of heterologous proteins. By using food grade rhamnose instead of the toxic compound methanol as the inducer, the two promoters would be excellent candidates for driving the production of food-grade and therapeutically important recombinant proteins.
