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

Metabolic engineering is a key enabling technology for rewiring cellular metabolism to enhance production of chemicals, biofuels, and materials from renewable resources. However, how to make cells into efficient factories is still challenging due to its robust metabolic networks. To open this door, metabolic engineering has realized great breakthroughs through three waves of technological research and innovations, especially the third wave. To understand the third wave of metabolic engineering better, we discuss its mainstream strategies and examples of its application at five hierarchies, including part, pathway, network, genome, and cell level, and provide insights as to how to rewire cellular metabolism in the context of maximizing product titer, yield, and productivity. Finally, we highlight future perspectives on metabolic engineering for the successful development of cell factories.
