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

In this study, the recombinant ectoine-producing Escherichia coli ET01 was constructed by introducing the ectABC operon from Halomonas venusta ZH. To further improve ectoine production, the regulation of the fermentation process was systematically investigated. First, the effects of the initial glucose concentrations and glucose feeding mode on ectoine production were analyzed. Using a combination of pH-feedback feeding and glucose-controlled feeding, the ectoine titer reached 25.5 g/L, representing an 8.8-fold increase over standard batch culture. Then, the effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) levels (50, 40, 30, or 20%) on ectoine production were studied, and a DO control strategy was developed based on the fermentation kinetics. When the final optimized two-stage fermentation strategy was used, the ectoine titer reached 47.8 g/L, which was the highest level of ectoine produced by E. coli fermentation. The fermentation regulation strategy developed in this study might be useful for scaling up the commercial production of ectoine.
