Cell-free selection of RNA-binding proteins using in vitro compartmentalization.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) perform many essential functions in the post-transcriptional control of gene expression. If we were able to engineer RBPs with new specificity, it would also become possible to develop new tools to control and investigate gene expression pathways. Molecular evolution methods such as phage display have been introduced to achieve this goal, but the large interface between these proteins and RNA relative to the size of library that can be constructed limits the efficacy of this method. In order to increase the diversity of libraries used for selection of RBPs, we applied the emulsion-based in vitro compartmentalization (IVC) method to select RBPs with defined specificity. A new approach was developed to link genotype and phenotype by fusing the target RBP to zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) that bind to a cognate DNA sequence inserted upstream of the promoter. The expressed fusion protein (ZFP-RBP) binds to its encoding DNA with high affinity via the ZFP target-binding site. After breaking the emulsion, the RBP can be selected based on its affinity for a biotinylated RNA bait. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method that should enable the selection of RBPs with new specificity or improved affinity.
