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

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a promising microbial cell factory. However, the overflow metabolism, known as the Crabtree effect, directs the majority of the carbon source toward ethanol production, in many cases, resulting in low yields of other target chemicals and byproducts accumulation. To construct Crabtree-negative S. cerevisiae, the deletion of pyruvate decarboxylases and/or ethanol dehydrogenases is required. However, these modifications compromises the growth of the strains on glucose. This review discusses the metabolic engineering approaches used to eliminate ethanol production, the efforts to alleviate growth defect of Crabtree-negative strains, and the underlying mechanisms of the growth rescue. In addition, it summarizes the applications of Crabtree-negative S. cerevisiae in the synthesis of various chemicals such as lactic acid, 2,3-butanediol, malic acid, succinic acid, isobutanol, and others.
