Modulating Microbial Materials - Engineering Bacterial Cellulose with Synthetic Biology.
Review in ACS synthetic biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The fusion of synthetic biology and materials science offers exciting opportunities to produce sustainable materials that can perform programmed biological functions such as sensing and responding or enhance material properties through biological means. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a unique material for this challenge due to its high-performance material properties and ease of production from culturable microbes. Research in the past decade has focused on expanding the benefits and applications of BC through many approaches. Here, we explore how the current landscape of BC-based biomaterials is being shaped by progress in synthetic biology. As well as discussing how it can aid production of more BC and BC with tailored material properties, we place special emphasis on the potential of using BC for engineered living materials (ELMs); materials of a biological nature designed to carry out specific tasks. We also explore the role of 3D bioprinting being used for BC-based ELMs and highlight specific opportunities that this can bring. As synthetic biology continues to advance, it will drive further innovation in BC-based materials and ELMs, enabling many new applications that can help address problems in the modern world, in both biomedicine and many other application fields.
