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

The nonconventional yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus has potential for industrial production, but the lack of advanced synthetic biology tools for precise engineering hinders its rapid development. Here, we introduce a CRISPR-Cas9-mediated multilocus integration method for assembling multiple exogenous genes. Using SlugCas9-HF, a high-fidelity Cas9 nuclease, we enhance gene editing precision. Specific genomic loci predisposed to efficient integration and expression of heterologous genes are identified and combined with a set of paired CRISPR-Cas9 expression plasmids and donor plasmids to establish a CRISPR-based biosynthesis toolkit. This toolkit enables genome integration of large gene modules over 12 kb and achieves simultaneous quadruple-locus integration in a single step with 20% efficiency. As a proof-of-concept, we apply the toolkit to screen for gene combinations that promote heme production, revealing the importance of HEM4Km and HEM12Sc. This CRISPR-based toolkit simplifies the reconstruction of complex pathways in K. marxianus, broadening its application in synthetic biology.
