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

Microbial natural products (NPs) are of paramount importance in human medicine, animal health and plant crop protection. Large-scale microbial genome and metagenomic mining has revealed tremendous biosynthetic potential to produce new NPs. However a majority of NP biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are functionally inaccessible under standard laboratory conditions. BGC refactoring and heterologous expression provide a promising synthetic biology approach to NP discovery, yield optimization and combinatorial biosynthesis studies. In this review, we summarize the recent advances pertaining to the heterologous production of bacterial and fungal NPs, with an emphasis on next-generation transcriptional regulatory modules, novel BGC refactoring techniques and optimized heterologous hosts.
