Advances in biomanufacturing and recent biological applications of the fundamental bacterial carotenoids: a comprehensive review.
Review in Microbial cell factories, 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
Many research teams have prioritized the investigation of the biotechnological production of carotenoids in the last few decades due to their multipurpose application. In this review, the bioproduction of the fundamental bacterial carotenoids, including lycopene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and astaxanthin, is discussed, along with detailed information on their biosynthesis, laboratory screening, physiochemical requirements, genetic engineering-based production development, and fermentation techniques. As well, this review emphasizes that the bacterial carotenoids are innovative therapeutic avenues with diverse biological applications, from food additives to anticancer agents. Moreover, the review discusses the limitations of the application of these carotenoids and the future perspectives. Ultimately, the review highlights the bacteria as powerful cell factories, potentially facilitating the commercial production of carotenoids in the future.
