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

A highly efficient lycopene production system was constructed by assembling enzymes fused to zinc-finger motifs on DNA scaffolds in vitro and in vivo. Three key enzymes of the lycopene synthesis pathway, geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, phytoene synthase, and phytoene desaturase, were fused with zinc-finger proteins, expressed and purified. Recombinant plasmids of the pS series containing DNA scaffolds that the zinc-finger proteins can specifically bind to were constructed. In the in vitro system, the production efficiency of lycopene was improved greatly after the addition of the scaffold plasmid pS231. Subsequently, the plasmid pET-AEBI was constructed and introduced into recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for expression, together with plasmids of the pS series. The lycopene production rate and content of the recombinant strain pp231 were higher than that of all strains carrying the DNA scaffold and the control. With the addition of cofactors and substrates in the lycopene biosynthesis pathway, the lycopene yield of pp231 reached 632.49 mg/L at 40 h, representing a 4.7-fold increase compared to the original recombinant strain pA1A3. This DNA scaffold system can be used as a platform for the construction and production of many biochemicals synthesized via multi-enzyme cascade reactions.
