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

Repurposing an organelle for specialized metabolism provides an avenue for fermentable, unicellular organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae to mimic compartmentalization of metabolic pathways within different plant tissues. Peroxisomes are attractive organelles for repurposing as they are not required for yeast viability when grown on glucose and can efficiently compartmentalize heterologous enzymes to enable physical separation of cytosolic native metabolism and peroxisomal engineered metabolism. However, when not required, peroxisomes are repressed, leading to low functional capacities for heterologous proteins. Here we engineer peroxisomes with enhanced functional capacities, with the goal of compartmentalizing up to eight metabolic enzymes to enhance titers. We implement a machine learning pipeline that allows the identification of factors to overexpress, culminating in a 137% increase in peroxisome functional capacity compared to a wild-type strain. Improved pathway compartmentalization enables an 80% increase in the biosynthesis titers of the monoterpene geraniol, up to 9.5 g L
