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

Synthetic biology has rapidly progressed over the past decade and is now positioned to impact important problems in health and energy. In the clinical arena, the field has thus far focused primarily on the use of bacteria and bacteriophages to overexpress therapeutic gene products. The next generation of multigene circuits will control the triggering, amplitude, and duration of therapeutic activity in vivo. This will require a host organism that is easy to genetically modify, leverages existing successful circuit designs, and has the potential for use in humans. Here, we show that gene circuits that were originally constructed and tested in Escherichia coli translate to Salmonella typhimurium, a therapeutically relevant microbe with attenuated strains that have exhibited safety in several human clinical trials. These strains are essentially nonvirulent, easy to genetically program, and specifically grow in tumor environments. Developing gene circuits on this platform could enhance our ability to bring sophisticated genetic programming to cancer therapy, setting the stage for a new generation of synthetic biology in clinically relevant microbes.
