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

Rapid engineering of biological systems is currently hindered by limited integration of manufacturing constraints into the design process, ultimately reducing the yield of many synthetic biology workflows. Here we tackle DNA engineering as a multi-objective optimization problem aiming at finding the best tradeoff between design requirements and manufacturing constraints. We developed a new open-source algorithm for DNA engineering, called Multi-Objective Optimisation algorithm for DNA Design and Assembly, available as a Python and Anaconda package, as well as a Docker image. Experimental results show that our method provides near-optimal constructs and scales linearly with design complexity, effectively paving the way to rational engineering of DNA molecules from genes to genomes.
