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

Multienzyme cascades are emerging as alternatives to fermentation for converting biogenic feedstocks into value-added chemicals and fuels. A major bottleneck in redox transformations is the loss of costly and unstable cofactors in continuous-flow systems, typically necessitating co-immobilization and complex regeneration schemes. Self-sufficient biocatalytic nanomachines, created by fusing enzymes with tethered cofactors, offer a streamlined solution by enabling intramolecular cofactor retention and recycling. Here, we demonstrate that such nanomachines can be integrated into a complete redox-dependent cascade, exemplified by a 10-step glucose-to-isobutanol pathway. Oxidoreductases were fused into redox pairs using peptide linkers containing a single cysteine for covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified nicotinamide cofactors, with rational selection of monomeric enzymes ensuring structural compatibility and soluble expression. The resulting nanomachines remained catalytically competent and produced isobutanol in both batch and continuous-flow operation without the addition of free NAD
