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

Synthetic methylotrophy, the modification of organisms such as E. coli to grow on methanol, is a longstanding goal of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. The poor kinetic properties of NAD-dependent methanol dehydrogenase, the first enzyme in most methanol assimilation pathways, limit pathway flux and present a formidable challenge to synthetic methylotrophy. To address this bottleneck, we used a formaldehyde biosensor to develop a phage-assisted noncontinuous evolution (PANCE) selection for variants of Bacillus methanolicus methanol dehydrogenase 2 (Bm Mdh2). Using this selection, we evolved Mdh2 variants with up to 3.5-fold improved V
