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

As global controllers of gene expression, small RNAs represent powerful tools for engineering complex phenotypes. However, a general challenge prevents the more widespread use of sRNA engineering strategies: mechanistic analysis of these regulators in bacteria lags far behind their high-throughput search and discovery. This makes it difficult to understand how to efficiently identify useful sRNAs to engineer a phenotype of interest. To help address this, we developed a forward systems approach to identify naturally occurring sRNAs relevant to a desired phenotype: RNA-seq Examiner for Phenotype-Informed Network Engineering (REFINE). This pipeline uses existing RNA-seq datasets under different growth conditions. It filters the total transcriptome to locate and rank regulatory-RNA-containing regions that can influence a metabolic phenotype of interest, without the need for previous mechanistic characterization. Application of this approach led to the uncovering of six novel sRNAs related to ethanol tolerance in non-model ethanol-producing bacterium
