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

Komagataeibacter species are well-recognized bionanocellulose (BNC) producers. This bacterial genus, formerly assigned to Gluconacetobacter, is known for its phenotypic diversity manifested by strain-dependent carbon source preference, BNC production rate, pellicle structure, and strain stability. Here, we performed a comparative study of nineteen Komagataeibacter genomes, three of which were newly contributed in this work. We defined the core genome of the genus, clarified phylogenetic relationships among strains, and provided genetic evidence for the distinction between the two major clades, the K. xylinus and the K. hansenii. We found genomic traits, which likely contribute to the phenotypic diversity between the Komagataeibacter strains. These features include genome flexibility, carbohydrate uptake and regulation of its metabolism, exopolysaccharides synthesis, and the c-di-GMP signaling network. In addition, this work provides a comprehensive functional annotation of carbohydrate metabolism pathways, such as those related to glucose, glycerol, acetan, levan, and cellulose. Findings of this multi-genomic study expand understanding of the genetic variation within the Komagataeibacter genus and facilitate exploiting of its full potential for bionanocellulose production at the industrial scale.
