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

backgroundAs one of the most promising monomers of biobased polyamides, cadaverine has wide industrial application prospects. However, in microbial cadaverine fermentation with glucose as the sole carbon source, the impaired coordination between precursor (lysine) utilization and cytotoxic cadaverine accumulation has been identified as the primary bottleneck limiting high-yield biosynthesis. Here, we developed a lysine biosensor in Escherichia coli to dynamically regulate cadaverine biosynthesis.

resultsIn this study, we developed a lysine biosensor based on the lysine transporter protein LysP, the transcription activator CadC, and the GFPuv gene under the control of the P

conclusionThis is the first report in which a lysine biosensor constructed in E. coli could dynamically regulate cadaverine synthesis to improve its yield and biomass. This strategy provides new insights into the metabolic engineering of lysine and its derivatives in E. coli.
