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

Models of gene expression considering host-circuit interactions are relevant for understanding both the strategies and associated trade-offs that cell endogenous genes have evolved and for the efficient design of heterologous protein expression systems and synthetic genetic circuits. Here, we consider a small-size model of gene expression dynamics in bacterial cells accounting for host-circuit interactions due to limited cellular resources. We define the cellular resources recruitment strength as a key functional coefficient that explains the distribution of resources among the host and the genes of interest and the relationship between the usage of resources and cell growth. This functional coefficient explicitly takes into account lab-accessible gene expression characteristics, such as promoter and ribosome binding site (RBS) strengths, capturing their interplay with the growth-dependent flux of available free cell resources. Despite its simplicity, the model captures the differential role of promoter and RBS strengths in the distribution of protein mass fractions as a function of growth rate and the optimal protein synthesis rate with remarkable fit to the experimental data from the literature for
