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

Acetyl-CoA serves as a foundational precursor and energy source for various biosynthesis pathways. The insufficient supply of acetyl-CoA in cytosol is usually a bottleneck for exogenous chemical synthesis in engineered microbes such as yeast. Exportation of acetyl-CoA from peroxisome, an exclusive organelle for fatty acids β-oxidation, may be an effective way to solve this problem. In this study, we develop a peroxin (PEX) engineering strategy to modulate peroxisome assembly in S. cerevisiae. Then, robust peroxisomes are constructed with improved acetyl-CoA supply by up to 98%, which further leads to the increased liquiritigenin titer (1102.4 mg/L). We also demonstrate that the PEX-mediated peroxisome engineering strategy can be extended across yeast species. Hybrid peroxisomes with tailored function are constructed in S. cerevisiae by transplanting selected PEXs from Y. lipolytica. Our study provides mechanistic insights into the "PEXs-peroxisome assembly-acetyl-CoA synthesis" relationship.
