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

2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) is a key flavor compound with a rose-like scent, used in the cosmetics, perfume, home care and food industries. This aroma compound can be obtained naturally from various flowers, however chemical synthesis is the most used route to meet market demand. The increasing interest in natural products has led to the development of more environmentally friendly alternatives for 2-PE production through biotechnological approaches. The most efficient approach involves the biotransformation of L-phenylalanine into 2-PE via the Ehrlich pathway, a process observed in different microorganisms such as yeasts and bacteria. 2-PE produced by this way can be considered as natural. However, due to the toxicity of the aroma to the producing microorganism, low production yields are typically obtained, motivating efforts to develop production processes that can overcome this bottleneck, enhance 2-PE yields and reduce the production costs. This review presents and discusses the latest advances in the bioproduction of 2-PE through microbial fermentation, in terms of producing strains, the optimization of cultivation processes, strategies to mitigate product toxicity, and the use of low value feedstocks. Novel applications for 2-PE are also highlighted.
