Pool deconvolution approach for high-throughput gene mining from Bacillus thuringiensis.
Article in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Novel genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are required for effective deployment in agriculture, human health, and forestry. In an improvement over conventional PCR-based screening, next generation sequencing (NGS) has been used for identification of new genes of potential interest from Bt strains, but cost becomes a constraint when several isolates are to be sequenced. We demonstrate the potential of a DNA pooling strategy known as pool deconvolution to identify commercially important toxin genes from 36 native Bt isolates. This strategy is divided into three steps: (a) DNA pooling, (b) short read sequence assembly followed by gene mining, and (c) host isolate identification. With this approach, we have identified insecticidal protein (ip) genes including nine three-domain (3D) cry genes, three cyt-type genes, three mtx genes (mosquitocidal toxin), and one bin and vip-type gene each. Three cry-type and three cyt-type genes were cloned, out of which, two cry-type genes, ip11 and ip13, were named as cry4Ca2 and cry52Ca1, respectively by the Bacillus thuringiensis nomenclature committee ( http://www.biols.susx.ac.uk/Home/Neil_Crickmore/BT/ ). Our results show that the pool deconvolution approach is well suited for high-throughput gene mining in bacteria.
