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

Exploiting bacteriophage-derived homologous recombination processes has enabled precise, multiplex editing of microbial genomes and the construction of billions of customized genetic variants in a single day. The techniques that enable this, multiplex automated genome engineering (MAGE) and directed evolution with random genomic mutations (DIvERGE), are however, currently limited to a handful of microorganisms for which single-stranded DNA-annealing proteins (SSAPs) that promote efficient recombineering have been identified. Thus, to enable genome-scale engineering in new hosts, efficient SSAPs must first be found. Here we introduce a high-throughput method for SSAP discovery that we call "serial enrichment for efficient recombineering" (SEER). By performing SEER in
