Investigating ethanol production using the Zymomonas mobilis crude extract.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cell-free systems have become valuable investigating tools for metabolic engineering research due to their easy access to metabolism without the interference of the membrane. Therefore, we applied Zymomonas mobilis cell-free system to investigate whether ethanol production is controlled by the genes of the metabolic pathway or is limited by cofactors. Initially, different glucose concentrations were added to the extract to determine the crude extract's capability to produce ethanol. Then, we investigated the genes of the metabolic pathway to find the limiting step in the ethanol production pathway. Next, to identify the bottleneck gene, a systemic approach was applied based on the integration of gene expression data on a cell-free metabolic model. ZMO1696 was determined as the bottleneck gene and an activator for its enzyme was added to the extract to experimentally assess its effect on ethanol production. Then the effect of NAD
