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

Bacillus subtilis is an industrially important microorganism that is often used as a microbial cell factory for the production of recombinant proteins due to its food safety, rapid growth, and powerful secretory capacity. However, the lack of data on functional genes related to recombinant protein production has hindered the further development of B. subtilis cell factories. Here, a strategy combining genome-wide CRISPRi screening and targeted CRISPRa activation to enhance recombinant protein expression is proposed. First, a CRISPRi library covering a total of 4225 coding genes (99.7%) in the B. subtilis genome and built the corresponding high-throughput screening methods is constructed. Twelve key genes for recombinant protein expression are identified, including targets without relevant functional annotations. Meanwhile, the transcription of recombinant protein genes by CRISPRa is up-regulated. These screened or selected genes can be easily applied to metabolic engineering by constructing sgRNA arrays. The relationship between differential pathways and recombinant protein expression in engineered strains by transcriptome analysis is also revealed. High-density fermentation and generalisability validation results prove the reliability of the strategy. This method can be extended to other industrial hosts to support functional gene annotation and the design of novel cell factories.
