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

Plantaricin EF, a kind of natural antibacterial substance, has shown inhibitory effect on most pathogen and spoilage microorganisms, which possessed great potential in food preservation. However, the lower production of plantaricin EF has limited its large-scale production and application. In this study, the effect of maltose on plantaricin EF production and its regulation mechanism in Lactobacillus plantarum 163 were investigated. Maltose significantly improved the biomass and plantaricin EF production, which increased by 3.35 and 3.99 times comparing to the control without maltose, respectively. The maximum production of plantaricin E and F in fed-batch fermentation were 10.55 mg/L and 22.94 mg/L, respectively. Besides, qPCR results showed that maltose remarkably improved transcription of plnA, plnB, plnD, plnE, plnF, plnG1 and plnH, and heighten transcription of lamR, lamK, hpk6 and rrp6. These results provided an effective method to enhance plantaricin EF production and revealed a possible regulatory mechanism from transcriptome results that hpk6, rrp6, lamK and lamR were relative to plantaricin EF production. Genes, hpk6 and rrp6, promote transcription of plnG1, whereas lamK and lamR enhance transcription of plnA, plnB and plnD, which increased plantaricin EF production. KEYPOINTS: • Maltose was proved to be effective in promoting the biosynthesis of plantaricin EF. • Maltose promoted the transcription of biosynthesis and secretion genes of plantaricin EF. • Up-regulation of genes lamR, lamK, hpk6 and rrp6 heightened the plantaricin EF production.
