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

Natural sweeteners have attracted widespread attention because they are eco-friendly, healthy, low in calories, and tasty. The demand for natural sweeteners is increasing together with the popularity of green, low-carbon, sustainable development. With the development of synthetic biology, microbial cell factories have emerged as an effective method to produce large amounts of natural sweeteners. This technology has significantly progressed in recent years. This review summarizes the pathways and the enzymes related to the biosynthesis of natural sweeteners, such as mogrosides, steviol glycosides, glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid, phlorizin, trilobatin, erythritol, sorbitol, mannitol, thaumatin, monellin, and brazzein. Moreover, it focuses on the research about the microbial production of these natural sweeteners using synthetic biology methods, aiming to provide a reference for future research on the production of natural sweeteners.
