Bringing carbon to life via one-carbon metabolism.
Review in Trends in biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
One-carbon (C1) compounds found in greenhouse gases and industrial waste streams are underutilized carbon and energy sources. While various biological and chemical means exist for converting C1 substrates into multicarbon products, major challenges of C1 conversion lie in creating net value. Here, we review metabolic strategies to utilize carbon across oxidation states. Complications arise in biochemical C1-utilization approaches because of the need for cellular energy currency ATP. ATP supports cell maintenance and proliferation and drives thermodynamically challenging reactions by coupling them with ATP hydrolysis. Powering metabolism through substrate cofeeding and energy transduction from light and electricity improves ATP availability, relieves metabolic bottlenecks, and upcycles carbon. We present a bioenergetic, engineering, and technoeconomic outlook for bringing elements to life.
