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

Engineering microbial cell factories have achieved much progress in producing fuels, natural products and bulk chemicals. However, in industrial fermentation, microbial cells often face various predictable and stochastic disturbances resulting from intermediate metabolites or end product toxicity, metabolic burden and harsh environment. These perturbances can potentially decrease productivity and titer. Therefore, strain robustness is essential to ensure reliable and sustainable production efficiency. In this review, the current strategies to improve host robustness were summarized, including knowledge-based engineering approaches, such as transcription factors, membrane/transporters and stress proteins, and the traditional adaptive laboratory evolution based on natural selection. Computation-assisted (e.g. GEMs, deep learning and machine learning) design of robust industrial hosts was also introduced. Furthermore, the challenges and future perspectives on engineering microbial host robustness are proposed to promote the development of green, efficient and sustainable biomanufacturers.
