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

backgroundHighly efficient production of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) in E. coli has been achieved by multiple rounds of random mutagenesis and modification of key genes of the shikimate (SHIK) and L-Phe branch pathways. In this study, we performed transcriptomic (16, 24 and 48 h) and metabolomic analyses (8, 16, 24, 32,40, and 48 h) based on time sequences in an engineered E. coli strain producing L-Phe, aiming to reveal the overall changes of metabolic activities during the fermentation process.

resultsThe largest biomass increase rate and the highest production rate were seen at 16 h and 24 h of fermentation, respectively reaching 5.9 h

conclusionsTranscriptomic and metabolomic analyses of an L-Phe overproducing strain of E. coli confirmed that precursor supply was not a major limiting factor in this strain, whereas the rational distribution of metabolic fluxes was achieved by redistributing the carbon flux (for example, the expression intensity of the genes tyrB, aspC, aroL and aroF/G/H or the activity of these enzymes is increased to some extent), which is the optimal strategy for enhancing L-Phe production.
