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

backgroundGamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays a significant role in the food and drug industries. Our previous study established an efficient fed-batch fermentation process for Lactobacillus brevis NCL912 production of GABA from monosodium L-glutamate; however, monosodium L-glutamate may not be an ideal substrate, as it can result in the rapid increase of pH due to decarboxylation. Thus, in this study, L-glutamic acid was proposed as a substrate. To evaluate its potential, key components of the fermentation medium affecting GABA synthesis were re-screened and re-optimized to enhance GABA production from L. brevis NCL912.

resultsThe initial fermentation medium (pH 3.3) used for optimization was: 50 g/L glucose, 25 g/L yeast extract, 10 mg/L manganese sulfate (MnSO

conclusionsL-Glutamic acid was superior to monosodium L-glutamate as a substrate in the bioproduction of GABA. Thus, a high efficacy bioprocess with 205 g/L GABA for L. brevis NCL912 was established. This strategy may provide an alternative for increasing the bioconversion of GABA.
