Review in Synthetic and systems biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The need for co-ordinate, high-level, and stable expression of multiple genes is essential for the engineering of biosynthetic circuits and metabolic pathways. This work outlines the functionality and design of IRES- and 2 A-peptide-based constructs by comparing different strategies for co-expression in polycistronic vectors. In particular, 2 A sequences are small peptides, mostly derived from viral polyproteins, that mediate a ribosome-skipping event such that several, different, separate proteins can be generated from a single open reading frame. When applied to metabolic engineering and synthetic gene circuits, 2 A peptides permit to achieve co-regulated and reliable expression of various genes in eukaryotic cells.
