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

Prodigiosin, a natural pigment mainly produced by microorganisms, has a wide range of applications in medicine, agriculture, and environmental protection. To improve the production efficiency of prodigiosin and develop a low-cost biomass carbon source to reduce the fermentation cost, we mutated Serratia marcescens strain isolated previously in our laboratory through atmospheric and room-temperature plasma (ARTP) mutation breeding and obtained a mutant strain RZ 21-6C with a high pigment production and high genetic stability. The fermentation performance analysis of different carbon sources showed that the mutant strain not only significantly improved the conversion of conventional carbon source - sucrose, but also synthesized prodigiosin from xylose and glucose. In particular, the utilization efficiency of xylose was very high. Based on the above characteristics, low-cost biomass carbon source corn stover hydrolysate with xylose as the main component was developed for the production of prodigiosin. The highest concentration of prodigiosin in fed-batch fermentation reached 16.17 g.L
