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

Here we describe TALE.Sense, a versatile platform for sensing DNA sequences in live mammalian cells enabling programmable generation of a customable response that discerns cells containing specified sequence targets. The platform is based on the programmable DNA binding of transcription activator-like effector (TALE) coupled to conditional intein-reconstitution producing a trans-spliced ON-switch for a response circuit. TALE.Sense shows higher efficiency and dynamic range when compared to the reported zinc-finger based DNA-sensor in detecting same DNA sequences. Swapping transcriptional activation modules and introducing SunTag-based amplification loops to TALE.Sense circuits augment detection efficiency of the DNA sensor. The TALE.Sense platform shows versatility when applied to a range of target sites, indicating its suitability for applications to identify live cell variants with anticipated DNA sequences. TALE.Sense could be integrated with other cellular or synthetic circuits by using specified DNA sequences as control-switches, thus expanding the scope in connecting inducible modules for synthetic biology.
