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

BirA is a biotin ligase from Escherichia coli that specifically biotinylates a lysine side-chain within a 15-amino acid acceptor peptide (also known as Avi-tag). We developed a protocol for producing recombinant BirA ligase in E. coli for in vitro biotinylation (Li and Sousa, Prot Expr Purif, 82:162-167, 2012) in which the target protein was expressed as both thioredoxin and MBP fusions, and was released by TEV protease-mediated cleavage. The liberated ligase and the fusion proteins were enzymatically active. Based on that observation, we have now developed a novel system for in vivo biotinylation by co-expressing the Avi-tagged target protein with the MBP-BirA fusion. The effectiveness of this system was demonstrated by the successful in vivo labeling of antimicrobial protein, scygonadin. This new system shows improved efficiency compared with pre-existing one and this is likely attributed to the high expression level and solubility of the co-expressed MBP-BirA.
