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

Microbial cell factories produce valuable compounds by exploiting cytochrome P450 catalytic systems. However, the inefficient electron transfer flux (ETF) between P450 and cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) hinders the efficient synthesis of natural products. Herein, an ETF is systematically engineered by regulating the electron transfer rate, electron-receiving rate, and electron donor NADPH availability for serotonin production. First, a putative electron transfer pathway (ETP) is identified using virtual computing and evolved based on a genetically encoded serotonin RNA biosensor. Subsequently, an intermediate site strategy is developed to shorten the electron-hopping steps and distance in the ETP of CPR for enhancing the electron transfer rate. Next, the heme-binding domain is engineered to reduce the distance between heme-Fe and the substrate channel terminal in T5H for improving the electron-receiving rate. Furthermore, the NADPH pool is enlarged to increase the electron supply for efficient catalysis of P450 systems. Finally, tryptophan-5-hydroxylase (T5H) activity (K
