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

backgroundHydroxybenzoic acids are industrially relevant aromatic compounds, which also play key roles in the microbial carbon metabolism, e.g., as precursors for the synthesis of cofactors or metal-chelating molecules. Due to its pronounced resistance to aromatics Corynebacterium glutamicum represents an interesting platform for production of these compounds. Unfortunately, a complex catabolic network for aromatic molecules prevents application of C. glutamicum for microbial production of aromatic compounds other than aromatic amino acids, which cannot be metabolized by this microorganism.

resultsWe completed the construction of the platform strain C. glutamicum DelAro

conclusionBy abolishing its natural catabolic network for aromatic compounds, C. glutamicum was turned into a versatile microbial platform for aromatics production, which could be exemplarily demonstrated by rapidly engineering this platform organism towards producing four biotechnologically interesting hydroxybenzoates. Production of these compounds was optimized following different metabolic engineering strategies leading to increased precursor availability. The constructed C. glutamicum strains are promising hosts for the production of hydroxybenzoates and other aromatic compounds at larger scales.
