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

One-pot bioprocessing (OPB) represents an integrated strategy for biomass valorization within a single reactor rather than across sequential, isolated units. By consolidating formation-stage steps that are traditionally separated, OPB can lower capital intensity and reduce intermediate losses. It may also improve carbon utilization under specific conditions compared with conventional modular biorefineries optimized around a single product. Despite these advantages, OPB has yet to achieve robust scalability. This review examines the dynamic processes governing biomass fractionation into individual constituents and biocatalytic transformation in single-reactor systems. It synthesizes recent advances in metabolic engineering, process intensification, and dynamic flux control to assess how biological network behavior, thermodynamic feasibility, and reactor-scale transport phenomena jointly constrain feasible product combinations within integrated one-pot systems. Persistent limitations arising from metabolic trade-offs, physicochemical incompatibilities, and increasing control complexity are evaluated alongside emerging enabling strategies, including dynamic metabolic regulation, hybrid one-pot architectures, and digital bioprocess twins. This work provides a data-informed framework indicating that effective one-pot bioprocess design depends on aligning biological compatibility, control capacity, and operational robustness to support adaptive and anticipatory control of multiproduct formation dynamics.
