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

To assess the role of a protein, protein loss phenotypic studies can be used, most commonly through mutagenesis RNAi or CRISPR knockout. Such studies have been critical for the understanding of protein function and the identification of putative therapeutic targets for numerous human disease states. However, these methodological approaches present challenges because they are not easily reversible, and if an essential gene is targeted, an associated loss of cell viability can potentially hinder further studies. Here we present a reversible and conditional live-cell knockout strategy that is applicable to numerous proteins. This modular protein-tagging approach regulates target loss at the protein, rather than the genomic, level through the use of HaloPROTAC3, which specifically degrades HaloTag fusion proteins via recruitment of the VHL E3 ligase component. To enable HaloTag-mediated degradation of endogenous proteins, we provide protocols for HaloTag genomic insertion at the protein N or C terminus via CRISPR/Cas9 and use of HaloTag fluorescent ligands to enrich edited cells via Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). Using these approaches, endogenous HaloTag fusion proteins present in various subcellular locations can be degraded by HaloPROTAC3. As detecting the degradation of endogenous targets is challenging, the 11-amino-acid peptide tag HiBiT is added to the HaloTag fusion to allows the sensitive luminescence detection of HaloTag fusion levels without the use of antibodies. Lastly, we demonstrate, through comparison of HaloPROTAC3 degradation with that of another fusion tag PROTAC, dTAG-13, that HaloPROTAC3 has a faster degradation rate and similar extent of degradation. © 2020 The Authors.
