Biofuel production from lignocellulose via thermophile-based consolidated bioprocessing.
Review in Engineering microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 depletion of fossil fuels and their impact on the environment have led to efforts to develop alternative sustainable fuels. While biofuel derived from lignocellulose is considered a sustainable, renewable, and green energy source, enhancing biofuel production and achieving a cost-effective bioconversion of lignocellulose at existing bio-refineries remains a challenge. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) using thermophiles can simplify this operation by integrating multiple processes, such as hydrolytic enzyme production, lignocellulose degradation, biofuel fermentation, and product distillation. This paper reviews recent developments in the conversion of lignocellulose to biofuel using thermophile-based CBP. First, advances in thermostable enzyme and thermophilic lignocellulolytic microorganism discovery and development for lignocellulosic biorefinery use are outlined. Then, several thermophilic CBP candidates and thermophilic microbes engineered to drive CBP of lignocellulose are reviewed. CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing tools developed for thermophiles are also highlighted. The potential applications of the Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) synthetic biology strategy for designing and constructing thermophilic CBP hosts are also discussed in detail. Overall, this review illustrates how to develop highly sophisticated thermophilic CBP hosts for use in lignocellulosic biorefinery applications.
