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

Although the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is a promising microbial cell factory, its application remains constrained by inefficient homology-directed repair (HDR) and a lack of precise genomic integration tools. To address these limitations, we developed a comprehensive genetic toolkit featuring three synergistic advancements. First, we systematically identified 55 neutral integration sites with tunable expression profiles, enabling stable, position-independent gene integration with predictable transcriptional output across a 12.88-fold dynamic range. Second, we established a dual-readout high-throughput screening platform combining colony morphology analysis with hrGFP fluorescence. This approach accurately measures locus-specific homologous recombination (HR) efficiency while eliminating false positives by dominant non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Third, we engineered a transient HR enhancement system by fusing the Sae2 exonuclease to Cas9 via a flexible (GGGGS)
