Nature's laboratory: plant metabolic engineering methods using phenylpropanoids as a case study.
Review in Biotechnology for biofuels and bioproducts, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Plant specialised metabolism generates a vast array of compounds with significant potential across agriculture, medicine, cosmetics, and the food industry. A key challenge lies in optimising their production in the plant, as these compounds are often present in trace amounts in a complex metabolic cocktail. Given their high economic value, extensive efforts have been made to elucidate their biosynthetic pathways and pinpoint key regulatory and enzymatic targets. This knowledge has been applied for metabolic engineering to enhance the carbon flux towards metabolites of interest, thereby broadening the utility of plants as a source of high-value compounds. This review examines different metabolic engineering strategies employed today using the phenylpropanoid pathway as a case study and highlights the potential of integrating plant and microbial research to drive cross-disciplinary innovation.
