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

Bio-based production of many chemicals is not yet possible due to the unknown biosynthetic pathways. Here, we report a strategy combining retrobiosynthesis and precursor selection step to design biosynthetic pathways for multiple short-chain primary amines (SCPAs) that have a wide range of applications in chemical industries. Using direct precursors of 15 target SCPAs determined by the above strategy, Streptomyces viridifaciens vlmD encoding valine decarboxylase is examined as a proof-of-concept promiscuous enzyme both in vitro and in vivo for generating SCPAs from their precursors. Escherichia coli expressing the heterologous vlmD produces 10 SCPAs by feeding their direct precursors. Furthermore, metabolically engineered E. coli strains are developed to produce representative SCPAs from glucose, including the one producing 10.67 g L
