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 rewiring helps to construct efficient microbial cell factories; however, these cells suffer from metabolic stress during long-term fed-batch fermentation. Thus, the construction of robust cells is vital for industrial application of microbial cell factories at the laboratory scale. Here, we systematically characterized longevity factors and pathways for biosynthesis of the diterpenoid sclareol and found that weakening nutrient-sensing pathways and enhancing mitophagy synergistically improved sclareol production by 70.3% (20.1 g/L with a yield of 0.046 g/g glucose). Further enhancing central metabolism improved sclareol production to 25.9 g/L with a yield of 0.051 g/g glucose, the highest production achieved in microbes. Omics data demonstrated that the extension of chronological lifespan by upregulating the expression of lifespan-related genes automatically remodeled the cellular metabolism and improved overall cellular robustness for efficient chemical biosynthesis. We also showed that our strategy significantly improved the biosynthesis of other products such as sesquiterpene β-elemene and phenolic acids. Therefore, this study may provide metabolic connections between cell aging and biosynthetic capacity.
