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

Cell-free gene expression systems with linear DNA expression templates (LDETs) have been widely applied in artificial cells, biochips, and high-throughput screening. However, due to the degradation caused by native nucleases in cell extracts, the transcription with linear DNA templates is weak, thereby resulting in low protein expression level, which greatly limits the development of cell-free systems using linear DNA templates. In this study, the protective sequences for stabilizing linear DNA and the transcribed mRNAs were rationally designed according to nucleases' action mechanism, whose effectiveness was evaluated through computer simulation and cell-free gene expression. The cell-free experiment results indicated that, with the combined protection of designed sequence and GamS protein, the protein expression of LDET-based cell-free systems could reach the same level as plasmid-based cell-free systems. This study would potentially promote the development of the LDET-based cell-free gene expression system for broader applications.
