Plug-and-play - enzymatic amino acid production from methanol and carbon dioxide.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and thus among the macronutrients to feed humankind. They have extensive industrial applications as animal feed and food additives like dietary supplements, and flavor enhancers and moreover as chemical precursors. We present the design of a synthetic enzyme cascade system for synthesizing a series of amino acids from methanol. This acts as a case study on how to contribute to the sustainable, renewable energy-based supply of food and feed. The modular nature of the cascade allows for plug-and-play module swapping and fine tuning of enzyme composition to customize the target compound. The one-pot enzymatic systems, capable of utilizing methanol, ammonia, and, partially, carbon dioxide, were employed to synthesize glycine, serine, L-aspartic acid, L-valine, L-glutamic acid, and L-proline. Considering the increasing availability of methanol produced from carbon dioxide through thermocatalytic and even electrocatalytic and photocatalytic processes, methanol represents a key intermediate in future CO
