Bioprocessing of Epothilone B from Aspergillus fumigatus under solid state fermentation: Antiproliferative activity, tubulin polymerization and cell cycle analysis.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Epothilone derivatives have been recognized as one of the most powerful anticancer drugs towards solid tumors, for their unique affinity to bind with β-tubulin microtubule arrays, stabilizing their disassembly, causing cell death. Sornagium cellulosum is the main source for Epothilone, however, the fermentation bioprocessing of this myxobacteria is the main challenge for commercial production of Epothilone. The metabolic biosynthetic potency of epothilone by Aspergillus fumigatus, an endophyte of Catharanthus roseus, raises the hope for commercial epothilone production, for their fast growth rate and feasibility of manipulating their secondary metabolites. Thus, nutritional optimization of A. fumigatus for maximizing their epothilone productivity under solid state fermentation process is the objective. The highest yield of epothilone was obtained by growing A. fumigatus on orange peels under solid state fermentation (2.2 μg/g), bioprocessed by the Plackett-Burman design. The chemical structure of the extracted epothilone was resolved from the HPLC and LC-MS/MS analysis, with molecular mass 507.2 m/z and identical molecular fragmentation pattern of epothilone B of S. cellulosum. The purified A. fumigatus epothilone had a significant activity towards HepG2 (IC
