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

The production efficiency of microbial cell factories is sometimes limited by the lack of effective methods to regulate multiple targets in a coordinated manner. Here taking the biosynthesis of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) in Bacillus subtilis as an example, a 'design-build-test-learn' framework was proposed to achieve efficient multiplexed optimization of metabolic pathways. A platform strain was built to carry biosensor signal-amplifying circuits and two genetic regulation circuits. Then, a synthetic CRISPR RNA array blend for boosting and leading (ScrABBLE) device was integrated into the platform strain, which generated 5,184 combinatorial assemblies targeting three genes. The best GlcN6P producer was screened and engineered for the synthesis of valuable pharmaceuticals N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmannosamine. The N-acetylglucosamine titer reached 183.9 g liter
