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

An important feature of synthetic biological circuits is their response to physicochemical signals, which enables the external control of cellular processes. Calcium-dependent regulation is an attractive approach for achieving such control, as diverse stimuli induce calcium influx by activating membrane channel receptors. Most calcium-dependent gene circuits use the endogenous nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) signaling pathway. Here, we employed engineered NFAT transcription factors to induce the potent and robust activation of exogenous gene expression in HEK293T cells. Furthermore, we designed a calcium-dependent transcription factor that does not interfere with NFAT-regulated promoters and potently activates transcription in several mammalian cell types. Additionally, we demonstrate that coupling the circuit to a calcium-selective ion channel resulted in capsaicin- and temperature-controlled gene expression. This engineered calcium-dependent signaling pathway enables tightly controlled regulation of gene expression through different stimuli in mammalian cells and is versatile, adaptable, and useful for a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
