Microbial cell factories for bio-based biodegradable plastics production.
Review in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The misuse of petroleum-based plastics has resulted in serious environmental pollution and resource wastage. Biodegradable plastics can be used as green substitutes for traditional plastics. Here, we discuss the feasibility and technical bottlenecks in developing microbial cell factories for the production of biodegradable plastics from lignocellulosic wastes. First, we introduce the basic properties of the main biodegradable plastics on the market, including poly(lactic acid), poly(hydroxyalkanoate), and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate). We then demonstrate the feasibility of synthesizing petroleum-based biodegradable plastic monomers from bio-based raw materials and propose strategies to further advance their commercial production through metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. We also analyze the main challenges facing the current development of bio-based biodegradable plastic biosynthesis technology. Finally, we discuss the current major lignocellulose bioconversion processes and explore way to further improve the utilization efficiency of the main carbohydrates in lignocellulosic hydrolysates by microorganisms, from the perspectives of sugar transport, sugar assimilation, and carbon catabolite inhibition.
