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 selection of improved producers among the huge number of variants in mutant libraries is a key issue in filamentous fungi of industrial biotechnology. Here, we developed a droplet-based microfluidic high-throughput screening platform for selection of high-cellulase producers from filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei. The screening system used a fluorogenic assay to measure amount of cellulase and its activity. The key effectors such as cellulase-inducing medium, spore germination, droplet cultivation time, droplet fluorescence signal detection, and droplet cell sorting were studied. An artificial pre-mixed library of high- and low-cellulase-producing T. reesei strains was screened successfully to verify the feasibility of our method. Finally, two cellulase hyperproducers exhibiting improvements in cellulase activity of 27% and 46% were isolated from an atmospheric and room-temperature plasma (ARTP)-mutated library. This high-throughput screening system could be applied to the engineering of T. reesei strains and other industrially valuable protein-producing filamentous fungi.
