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

Indole has an increasing interest in the flavor and fragrance industry. It is used in dairy products, tea drinks, and fine fragrances due to its distinct floral odor typical of jasmine blossoms. The current production of indole based on isolation from coal tar is non-sustainable and its isolation from plants is often unprofitable due to low yields. To offer an alternative to the conventional production, biosynthesis of indole has been studied recently. A glucose-based indole production was achieved by employing the Corynebacterium glutamicum tryptophan synthase α-subunit (TrpA) or indole-3-glycerol phosphate lyase (IGL) from wheat Triticum aestivum in a genetically-engineered C. glutamicum strain. In addition, a highly efficient bioconversion process using C. glutamicum heterologously expressing tryptophanase gene (tnaA) from Providencia rettgeri as a biocatalyst was developed. In this work, de novo indole production from glucose was enabled by expressing the P. rettgeri tnaA in a tryptophan-producing C. glutamicum strain. By metabolic engineering of a C. glutamicum shikimate accumulating base strain, tryptophan production of 2.14 ± 0.02 g L
