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 biology strives to reliably control cellular behavior, typically in the form of user-designed interactions of biological components to produce a predetermined output. Engineered circuit components are frequently derived from natural sources and are therefore often hampered by inadvertent interactions with host machinery, most notably within the host central dogma. Reliable and predictable gene circuits require the targeted reduction or elimination of these undesirable interactions to mitigate negative consequences on host fitness and develop context-independent bioactivities. Here, we review recent advances in biological orthogonalization, namely the insulation of researcher-dictated bioactivities from host processes, with a focus on systematic developments that may culminate in the creation of an orthogonal central dogma and novel cellular functions.
