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

Synthetic RNA-based gene circuits enable sophisticated gene regulation without the risk of insertional mutagenesis. While various RNA binding proteins have been used for translational repression in gene circuits, the direct translational activation of synthetic mRNAs has not been achieved. Here we develop Caliciviral VPg-based Translational activator (CaVT), which activates the translation of synthetic mRNAs without the canonical 5'-cap. The level of translation can be modulated by changing the locations, sequences, and modified nucleosides of CaVT-binding motifs in the target mRNAs, enabling the simultaneous translational activation and repression of different mRNAs with RNA-only delivery. We demonstrate the efficient regulation of apoptosis and genome editing by tuning translation levels with CaVT. In addition, we design programmable CaVT that responds to endogenous microRNAs or small molecules, achieving both cell-state-specific and conditional translational activation from synthetic mRNAs. CaVT will become an important tool in synthetic biology for both biological studies and future therapeutic applications.
