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

d-Xylose is a metabolizable carbon source for several non-Saccharomyces species, but not for native strains of S. cerevisiae. For the potential application of xylose-assimilating yeasts in biotechnological processes, a deeper understanding of pentose catabolism is needed. This work aimed to investigate the traits behind xylose utilization in diverse yeast species. The performance of 9 selected xylose-metabolizing yeast strains was evaluated and compared across 3 oxygenation conditions. Oxygenation diversely impacted growth, xylose consumption, and product accumulation. Xylose utilization by ethanol-producing species such as Spathaspora passalidarum and Scheffersomyces stipitis was less affected by oxygen restriction compared with other xylitol-accumulating species such as Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Naganishia liquefaciens, and Yamadazyma sp., for which increased aeration stimulated xylose assimilation considerably. Spathaspora passalidarum exhibited superior conversion of xylose to ethanol and showed the fastest growth and xylose consumption in all 3 conditions. By performing assays under identical conditions for all selected yeasts, we minimize bias in comparisons, providing valuable insight into xylose metabolism and facilitating the development of robust bioprocesses. ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY: This work aims to expand the knowledge of xylose utilization in different yeast species, with a focus on how oxygenation impacts xylose assimilation.
