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

backgroundIdentification of high-expressing colonies is one of the main concerns in the upstream process of recombinant protein development. The common method to screen high-producing colonies is SDS-PAGE, a laborious and time-consuming process, which is based on a random and qualitative way. The current study describes the design and development of a rapid screening system composed of a dicistronic expression system containing a reporter (enhanced green fluorescent protein, eGFP), protein model (staphylokinase, SAK), and a self-inducible system containing heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27).

resultsDicistronic-autoinducible system expressed eGFP and SAK successfully in 5-ml and 1-L culture volumes. High expressing colonies were identified during 6 h via fluorescent signals. In addition, the biological activity of the protein model was confirmed semi-quantitatively and quantitatively through radial caseinolytic and chromogenic methods, respectively. There was a direct correlation between eGFP fluorescent intensity and SAK activity. The correlation and linearity of expression between the two genes were respectively confirmed with Pearson correlation and linear regression. Additionally, the precision, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ) were determined. The expression of eGFP and SAK was stable during four freeze-thaw cycles. In addition, the developed protocol showed that the transformants can be inoculated directly to the culture, saving time and reducing the error-prone step of colony picking.

conclusionThe developed system is applicable for rapid screening of high-expressing colonies in most research laboratories. This system can be investigated for other recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli with a potential capability for automation and use at larger scales.
