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 yeast Komagataella phaffii is widely used as a microbial host for heterologous protein production. However, molecular tools for this yeast are basically restricted to a few integrative and replicative plasmids. Four sequences that have recently been proposed as the K. phaffii centromeres could be used to develop a new class of mitotically stable vectors. In this work, we designed a color-based genetic assay to investigate plasmid stability in K. phaffii and constructed vectors bearing K. phaffii centromeres and the ADE3 marker. These genetic tools were evaluated in terms of mitotic stability by transforming an ade2/ade3 auxotrophic strain and regarding plasmid copy number by quantitative PCR (qPCR). Our results confirmed that the centromeric plasmids were maintained at low copy numbers as a result of typical chromosome-like segregation during cell division. These features, combined with in vivo assembly possibilities, prompt these plasmids as a new addition to the K. phaffii genetic toolbox.
