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

Here we describe an advanced paradigm for the design, construction and stable implementation of complex biological systems in microbial organisms. This engineering strategy was previously applied to the development of an Escherichia coli-based platform, which enabled the use of brown macroalgae as a feedstock for the production of biofuels and renewable chemicals. In this approach, functional genetic modules are first designed in silico and constructed on a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) by using a recombineering-based inchworm extension technique. Stable integration into the recipient chromosome is then mediated through the use of recombinase-assisted genome engineering (RAGE). The flexibility, simplicity and speed of this method enable a comprehensive optimization of several different parameters, including module configuration, strain background, integration locus, gene copy number and intermodule compatibility. This paradigm therefore has the potential to markedly expedite most strain-engineering endeavors. Once a biological system has been designed and constructed on a BAC, its implementation and optimization in a recipient host can be carried out in as little as 1 week.
