Transcription Factor Target Gene Network governs the Logical Abstraction Analysis of the Synthetic Circuit in Leishmaniasis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
With the advent of synthetic biology in medicine many synthetic or engineered proteins have made their way to therapeutics and diagnostics. In this paper, the downstream gene network of CD14-TNF-EGFR pathway in leishmaniasis, a tropical disease, is reconstructed. Network analysis showed that NFkB links the signaling and gene network, used as a point of intervention through a synthetic circuit embedded within the negative autoregulatory feedback loop. A chimeric protein kinase C (PKC) is incorporated in the synthetic circuit, under the transcriptional regulation of Lac repressor and IPTG, as an inducer. The chimeric PKC_ζα via IκKb phosphorylation activates NFκB, and modulates the gene expression from an anti-inflammatory to a pro-inflammatory phenotype in in vitro L. major infected macrophage model. This is the first ever report of a synthetic device construction in leishmania.
