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

backgroundSteviol glycosides such as stevioside have attracted the attention of the food and beverage industry. Recently, efforts were made to produce these natural sweeteners in microorganisms using metabolic engineering. Nonetheless, the steviol titer is relatively low in metabolically engineered microorganisms, and therefore a steviol-biosynthetic pathway in heterologous microorganisms needs to be metabolically optimized. The purpose of this study was to redesign and reconstruct a steviol-biosynthetic pathway via synthetic-biology approaches in order to overproduce steviol in Escherichia coli.

resultsA genome-engineered E. coli strain, which coexpressed 5' untranslated region (UTR)-engineered geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, copalyl diphosphate synthase, and kaurene synthase, produced 623.6 ± 3.0 mg/L ent-kaurene in batch fermentation. Overexpression of 5'-UTR-engineered, N-terminally modified kaurene oxidase of Arabidopsis thaliana yielded 41.4 ± 5 mg/L ent-kaurenoic acid. Enhanced ent-kaurenoic acid production (50.7 ± 9.8 mg/L) was achieved by increasing the cellular NADPH/NADP

conclusions5'-UTR engineering, the fusion protein approach, and redox balancing improved the steviol titer in flask fermentation and bioreactor fermentation. The expression engineering of steviol-biosynthetic enzymes and the genome engineering described here can serve as the basis for producing terpenoids-including steviol glycosides and carotenoids-in microorganisms.
