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

Natural products (NPs) continue to play a pivotal role in drug discovery programs. The rapid development of synthetic biology has conferred the strategies of NPs production. Synthetic biology is a new engineering discipline that aims to produce desirable products by rationally programming the biological parts and manipulating the pathways. However, there is still a challenge for integrating a heterologous pathway in chassis cells for overproduction purpose due to the limited characterized parts, modules incompatibility, and cell tolerance towards product. Enormous endeavors have been taken for mentioned issues. Herein, in this review, the progresses in naturally discovering novel biological parts and rational design of synthetic biological parts are reviewed, combining with the advanced assembly technologies, pathway engineering, and pathway optimization in global network guidance. The future perspectives are also presented.
