Biotechnological Approaches for Enhancing Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Production: Current and Future Perspectives.
Review in Current microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The benefits of biotechnology are not limited to genetic engineering, but it also displays its great impact on industrial uses of crops (e.g., biodegradable plastics). Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) make a diverse class of bio-based and biodegradable polymers naturally synthesized by numerous microorganisms. However, several C3 and C4 plants have also been genetically engineered to produce PHAs. The highest production yield of PHAs was obtained with a well-known C3 plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, upto 40% of the dry weight of the leaf. This review summarizes all biotechnological mechanisms that have been adopted with the goal of increasing PHAs production in bacteria and plant species alike. Moreover, the possibility of using some methods that have not been applied in bioplastic science are discussed with special attention to plants. These include producing PHAs in transgenic hairy roots and cell suspension cultures, making transformed bacteria and plants via transposons, constructing an engineered metabolon, and overexpressing of phaP and the ABC operon concurrently. Taken together, that biotechnology will be highly beneficial for reducing plastic pollution through the implementation of biotechnological strategies is taken for granted.
