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 is a widely used heterologous protein production workhorse. However, with its multiple genetic modifications to solve bottlenecks for heterologous protein productivity, P. pastoris lacks selectable markers. Existing selectable marker recycling plasmids have drawbacks (e.g., slow growth and conditional lethality). Here, zeocin-resistance marker recycling vectors were constructed using the Cre/loxP recombination system. The vectors were used to (i) knock in heterologous phytase, xylanase and lipase expression cassettes, (ii) increase the phytase, xylanase and lipase gene copy number to 13, 5, and 5, respectively, with vector introduction and (iii) engineer the secretion pathway by co-overexpressing secretion helper factors (Sly1p and Sec1p) without introducing selectable markers, giving a phytase field of 0.833 g/L. The vectors allow selectable marker recycling and would be a useful tool to engineer P. pastoris for high heterologous protein productivity.
