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

Yeasts have emerged as well-suited microbial cell factory for the sustainable production of biofuels, organic acids, terpenoids, and specialty chemicals. This ability is bolstered by advances in genetic engineering tools, including CRISPR-Cas systems and modular cloning in both conventional (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and non-conventional (Yarrowia lipolytica, Rhodotorula toruloides, Candida krusei) yeasts. Additionally, genome-scale metabolic models and machine learning approaches have accelerated efforts to create a broad range of compounds that help reduce dependency on fossil fuels, mitigate climate change, and offer sustainable alternatives to petrochemical-derived counterparts. In this review, we highlight the cutting-edge genetic tools driving yeast metabolic engineering and then explore the diverse applications of yeast-based platforms for producing value-added products. Collectively, this review underscores the pivotal role of yeast biotechnology in efforts to build a sustainable bioeconomy.
