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

BioID is a well-established method for identifying protein-protein interactions and has been utilized within live cells and several animal models. However, the conventional labeling period requires 15-18 h for robust biotinylation which may not be ideal for some applications. Recently, two new ligases termed TurboID and miniTurbo were developed using directed evolution of the BioID ligase and were able to produce robust biotinylation following a 10 min incubation with excess biotin. However, there is reported concern about inducibility of biotinylation, cellular toxicity, and ligase stability. To further investigate the practical applications of TurboID and ascertain strengths and weaknesses compared to BioID, we developed several stable cell lines expressing BioID and TurboID fusion proteins and analyzed them via immunoblot, immunofluorescence, and biotin-affinity purification-based proteomics. For TurboID we observed signs of protein instability, persistent biotinylation in the absence of exogenous biotin, and an increase in the practical labeling radius. However, TurboID enabled robust biotinylation in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen compared to BioID. Induction of biotinylation could be achieved by combining doxycycline-inducible expression with growth in biotin depleted culture media. These studies should help inform investigators utilizing BioID-based methods as to the appropriate ligase and experimental protocol for their particular needs.
