Improved fermentation efficiency of S. cerevisiae by changing glycolytic metabolic pathways with plasma agitation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Production of ethanol by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a process of global importance. In these processes, productivities and yields are pushed to their maximum possible values leading to cellular stress. Transient and lasting enhancements in tolerance and performance have been obtained by genetic engineering, forced evolution, and exposure to moderate levels of chemical and/or physical stimuli, yet the drawbacks of these methods include cost, and multi-step, complex and lengthy treatment protocols. Here, plasma agitation is shown to rapidly induce desirable phenotypic changes in S. cerevisiae after a single treatment, resulting in improved conversion of glucose to ethanol. With a complex environment rich in energetic electrons, highly-reactive chemical species, photons, and gas flow effects, plasma treatment simultaneously mimics exposure to multiple environmental stressors. A single treatment of up to 10 minutes performed using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet was sufficient to induce changes in cell membrane structure, and increased hexokinase 2 activity and secondary metabolite production. These results suggest that plasma treatment is a promising strategy that can contribute to improving metabolic activity in industrial microbial strains, and thus the practicality and economics of industrial fermentations.
