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 production of biofuels and biochemicals derived from microbial fermentation has received a lot of attention and interest in light of concerns about the depletion of fossil fuel resources and climatic degeneration. However, the economic viability of feedstocks for biological conversion remains a barrier, urging researchers to develop renewable and sustainable low-cost carbon sources for future bioindustries. Owing to the numerous advantages, acetate has been regarded as a promising feedstock targeting the production of acetyl-CoA-derived chemicals. This review aims to highlight the potential of acetate as a building block in industrial biotechnology for the production of bio-based chemicals with metabolic engineering. Different alternative approaches and routes comprised of lignocellulosic biomass, waste streams, and C1 gas for acetate generation are briefly described and evaluated. Then, a thorough explanation of the metabolic pathway for biotechnological acetate conversion, cellular transport, and toxin tolerance is described. Particularly, current developments in metabolic engineering of the manufacture of biochemicals from acetate are summarized in detail, with various microbial cell factories and strategies proposed to improve acetate assimilation and enhance product formation. Challenges and future development for acetate generation and assimilation as well as chemicals production from acetate is eventually shown. This review provides an overview of the current status of acetate utilization and proves the great potential of acetate with metabolic engineering in industrial biotechnology.
