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

Precisely identifying and killing tumor cells are diligent pursuits in oncotherapy. Synthesized gene circuits have emerged as an intelligent weapon to solve these problems. Gene circuits based on post-transcriptional regulation enable a faster response than systems based on transcriptional regulation, which requires transcription and translation, showing superior safety. In this study, synthetic-promoter-free gene circuits possessing two control layers were constructed to improve the specific recognition of tumor cells. Using split-TEV, we designed and verified the basic control layer of protein-protein interaction (PPI) sensing. Another orthogonal control layer was built to sense specific proteins. Two layers were integrated to generate gene circuits sensing both PPI and specific proteins, forming 10 logic gates. To demonstrate the utility of this system, the circuit was engineered to sense alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) expression and the PPI between YAP and 14-3-3σ, the matching profile of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Gene-circuit-loaded cells distinguished HCC from other cells and released therapeutic antibodies, exhibiting
