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

The synthetic biology-driven production of high-value plant secondary metabolites in microbial hosts has attracted extensive attention despite various challenges, including correct protein expression and limited supplies of starting materials. In contrast, plant cell cultures are rarely used for this purpose owing to their slow proliferation rates and laborious transformation processes. Here, we propose a "rational metabolic-flow switching" strategy to efficiently produce exogenous secondary metabolites using suspension-cultured bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra; Pn) cells as model production hosts. The Pn cells biosynthesise hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) of putrescine as major secondary metabolites, which indicates that the phenylpropanoid and polyamine biosynthetic pathways are highly active and that the Pn cells may produce alternative secondary metabolites derived from those pathways. Stable transformants of Pn cells expressing agmatine coumaroyltransferase of barley (Hordeum vulgare) were generated with the expectation of metabolic-flow switching from HCAAs of putrescine to those of agmatine. In the recombinant Pn cells, the levels of HCAAs of putrescine decreased and the HCAAs of agmatine were produced instead. The production titre of the major product, p-coumaroylagmatine, reached approximately 360 mg/L, providing a proof-of-concept for the usefulness of "rational metabolic-flow switching" in synthetic biology using plant cell hosts.
