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

Taxol is a successful anti-cancer drug, which extensively studied in Taxus spp. However, microbial endophytes also reported as taxol producers, and especially fungal endophytes extensively studied for the taxol biosynthesis pathway. Although it was well considered, the taxol biosynthesis pathway remains undisclosed since its discovery in bacteria. To decipher this gap, we isolated and identified the endophytic bacteria such as Bacillus flexus strain DMTMMB08, Bacillus licheniformis strain DMTMMB10, and Oceanobacillus picturae strain DMTMMB24, which are unprecedented for taxol production. Subsequently, the genome annotation of these bacteria exhibited the isoprene biosynthesis pathway and terpene synthase profile. Feasibly, this is the very first report on taxol-producing endophytic bacteria from the non-Taxus host and solitary investigation on its genome analysis. The genomic insight into the bacterial system for taxol biosynthesis leads to understanding the terpene synthesis and evolution. This piece of work could expand our perception of the diversity of terpenes and their related natural products.
