Enrichment of health-promoting lutein and zeaxanthin in tomato fruit through metabolic engineering.
Article in Synthetic and systems biotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Carotenoids constitute a large group of natural pigments widely distributed in nature. These compounds not only provide fruits and flowers with distinctive colors, but also have significant health benefits for humans. Lutein and zeaxanthin, both oxygen-containing carotenoids, are considered to play vital roles in promoting ocular development and maintaining eye health. However, humans and mammals cannot synthesize these carotenoid derivatives, which can only be taken from certain fruits or vegetables. Here, by introducing four endogenous synthetic genes,
