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

Corynebacterium glutamicum is a key industrial workhorse for producing amino acids and high-value chemicals. Balancing metabolic flow between cell growth and product synthesis is crucial for enhancing production efficiency. Developing dynamic, broadly applicable, and minimally toxic gene regulation tools for C. glutamicum remains challenging, as optogenetic tools ideal for dynamic regulatory strategies have not yet been developed. This study introduces an advanced light-controlled gene expression system using light-controlled RNA-binding proteins (RBP), a first for Corynebacterium glutamicum. We established a gene expression regulation system, 'LightOnC.glu', utilizing the light-controlled RBP to construct light-controlled transcription factors in C. glutamicum. Simultaneously, we developed a high-performance light-controlled gene interference system using CRISPR/Cpf1 tools. The metabolic flow in the synthesis network was designed to enable the production of chitin oligosaccharides (CHOSs) and chondroitin sulphate oligosaccharides A (CSA) for the first time in C. glutamicum. Additionally, a light-controlled bioreactor was constructed, achieving a CHOSs production concentration of 6.2 g/L, the highest titer recorded for CHOSs biosynthesis to date. Herein, we have established a programmable light-responsive genetic circuit in C. glutamicum, advancing the theory of dynamic regulation based on light signaling. This breakthrough has potential applications in optimizing metabolic modules in other chassis cells and synthesizing other compounds.
