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

The robust and precise on and off switching of one or more genes of interest, followed by expression or repression is essential for many biological circuits as well as for industrial applications. However, many regulated systems published to date influence the viability of the host cell, show high basal expression or enable only the overexpression of the target gene without the possibility of fine regulation. Herein, we describe an AND gate designed to overcome these limitations by combining the advantages of three well established systems, namely the scaffold RNA CRISPR/dCas9 platform that is controlled by Gal10 as a natural and by LexA-ER-AD as heterologous transcription factor. We hence developed a predictable and modular, versatile expression control system. The selection of a reporter gene set up combining a gene of interest (GOI) with a fluorophore by the ribosomal skipping T2A sequence allows to adapt the system to any gene of interest without losing reporter function. In order to obtain a better understanding of the underlying principles and the functioning of our system, we backed our experimental findings with the development of a mathematical model and single-cell analysis.
