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

backgroundLow-cost feedstocks, a single product (butanol), and a high butanol titer are three key points for establishing a sustainable and economically viable process for biological butanol production. Here, we comprehensively investigated the butanol production from mono-substrates, mainly glycerol and polysaccharides, mainly starch and xylan by a newly identified wild-type

resultsStrain GL11 produced 14.7 g/L of butanol with a yield of 0.41 g/g from glycerol in the batch mode without formation of by-products of acetone and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO). With in situ extraction with biodiesel, the amount of butanol was finally improved to 28.8 g/L in the fed-batch mode. Genomic and enzymatic analysis showed that the deficiency of key enzymes involved in acetone and 1,3-PDO pathway within strain GL11 led to the elimination of these by-products, which may also greatly simplify downstream separation. The elimination of acetone and 1,3-PDO and high butanol tolerance contributed to its high butanol production yield from glycerol. More importantly, strain GL11 could directly convert polysaccharides, such as xylan and starch to butanol with secretion of xylanase and amylase via consolidated bioprocessing.

conclusionsThe wild-type strain GL11 was found to be particularly advantageous due to its capability of efficient butanol production from glycerol and polysaccharides with elimination of acetone and 1,3-PDO formation. And the high butanol production with in situ extraction by using biodiesel would significantly enhance the economic feasibility of fermentative production of butanol from glycerol. These unique features of
