Comparison of aldehyde-producing activities of cyanobacterial acyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductases.
Article in Biotechnology for biofuels, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundBiosynthesis of alkanes is an attractive way of producing substitutes for petroleum-based alkanes. Acyl-[acyl carrier protein (ACP)] reductase (AAR) is a key enzyme for alkane biosynthesis in cyanobacteria and catalyzes the reduction of fatty acyl-ACP to fatty aldehydes, which are then converted into alkanes/alkenes by aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO). The amino acid sequences of AARs vary among cyanobacteria. However, their differences in catalytic activity, substrate specificity, and solubility are poorly understood.
resultsWe compared the aldehyde-producing activity, substrate specificity, and solubility of AARs from 12 representative cyanobacteria. The activity is the highest for AAR from
conclusionsWe found that the activity, substrate specificity, and solubility are diverse among various AARs. Our results provide a basis for selecting an AAR sequence suitable for metabolic engineering of bioalkane production while regulating carbon chain length.
