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

β-Carotene is a kind of high-value tetraterpene compound, which shows various applications in medical, agricultural, and industrial areas owing to its antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, Yarrowia lipolytica was successfully metabolically modified through the construction and optimization of β-carotene biosynthetic pathway for β-carotene production. The β-carotene titer in the engineered strain Yli-C with the introduction of the carotenogenesis genes crtI, crtE, and crtYB can reach 34.5 mg/L. With the overexpression of key gene in the mevalonate pathway and the enhanced expression of the fatty acid synthesis pathway, the β-carotene titer of the engineered strain Yli-CAH reached 87 mg/L, which was 152% higher than that of the strain Yli-C. Through the further expression of the rate-limiting enzyme tHMGR and the copy number of β-carotene synthesis related genes, the β-carotene production of Yli-C2AH2 strain reached 117.5 mg/L. The final strain Yli-C2AH2 produced 2.7 g/L β-carotene titer by fed-batch fermentation in a 5.0-L fermenter. This research will greatly speed up the process of developing microbial cell factories for the commercial production of β-carotene. ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY: In this study, the β-carotene synthesis pathway in engineered Yarrowia lipolytica was enhanced, and the fermentation conditions were optimized for high β-carotene production.
