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

Genome engineering has become a powerful tool for creating useful strains in research and industry. In this study, we applied singleplex and multiplex genome engineering approaches to construct an E. coli strain for the production of L-DOPA from glucose. We first used the singleplex genome engineering approach to create an L-DOPA-producing strain, E. coli DOPA-1, by deleting transcriptional regulators (tyrosine repressor tyrR and carbon storage regulator A csrA), altering glucose transport from the phosphotransferase system (PTS) to ATP-dependent uptake and the phosphorylation system overexpressing galactose permease gene (galP) and glucokinase gene (glk), knocking out glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (zwf) and prephenate dehydratase and its leader peptide genes (pheLA) and integrating the fusion protein chimera of the downstream pathway of chorismate. Then, multiplex automated genome engineering (MAGE) based on 23 targets was used to further improve L-DOPA production. The resulting strain, E. coli DOPA-30N, produced 8.67 g/L of L-DOPA in 60 h in a 5 L fed-batch fermentation. This titer is the highest achieved in metabolically engineered E. coli having PHAH activity from glucose.
