Complete pathway elucidation of echinacoside in Cistanche tubulosa and de novo biosynthesis of phenylethanoid glycosides.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Echinacoside (ECH), one of the most representative phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs), has considerable neuroprotective effects and is an effective ingredient in numerous commercial drugs. Here, we elucidate the complete ECH biosynthetic pathway in the medicinal plant Cistanche tubulosa. In total, 14 related genes are cloned and functionally characterized. Two upstream pathways for tyrosol biosynthesis from L-tyrosine are identified: one includes separate decarboxylation, deamination and reduction steps; the other uses microbial-like transamination, decarboxylation and reduction steps. In addition, a distinct downstream assembly process from tyrosol to ECH is revealed that includes sequential glucosylation, acylation, hydroxylation, and rhamnosylation to form acteoside, and ends with a final glucosylation converting acteoside to ECH. Furthermore, the de novo synthesis of 23 PhG derivatives is achieved via the heterologous expression of different combinations of the functional genes in tobacco. Our findings provide insights into the biosynthesis of ECH and a platform for alternative production of complex PhGs.
