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

Adipic acid (AA), a key aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, is conventionally manufactured through energy-intensive, multi-step chemical processes with significant environmental impacts. In contrast, biological production methods offer more sustainable alternatives but are often limited by low productivity. To overcome these challenges, this study reports the engineering of a single Escherichia coli for efficient biosynthesis of AA starting from cyclohexanol (CHOL), KA oil (mixture of CHOL and cyclohexanone (CHONE)), or cyclohexane (CH). To start with, a comprehensive screening of rate-limiting enzymes is conducted, particularly focusing on cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, followed by the optimization of protein expression using strategies such as protein fusion, promoter replacement, and genome editing. Consequently, an engineered E. coli capable of efficiently converting either KA oil or CH into AA is obtained, achieving remarkable product titers of 110 and 22.6 g L
