Circular cell culture for sustainable food production using recombinant lactate-assimilating cyanobacteria that supplies pyruvate and amino acids.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Recently, we reported a circular cell culture (CCC) system using microalgae and animal muscle cells for sustainable culture food production. However, lactate accumulation excreted by animal cells in the system characterized by medium reuse was a huge problem. To solve the problem, as an advanced CCC, we used a lactate-assimilating cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, using gene-recombination technology that synthesises pyruvate from lactate. We found that the cyanobacteria and animal cells mutually exchanged substances via their waste media: (i) cyanobacteria used lactate and ammonia excreted by animal muscle cells, and (ii) the animal cells used pyruvate and some amino acids excreted by the cyanobacteria. Because of this, animal muscle C2C12 cells were amplified efficiently without animal serum in cyanobacterial culture waste medium in two cycles (first cycle: 3.6-fold; second cycle: 3.9-fold/three days-cultivation) using the same reuse medium. We believe that this advanced CCC system will solve the problem of lactate accumulation in cell culture and lead to efficient cultured food production.
