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

Designer RNA scaffolds constitute a promising tool for synthetic biology, as they can be genetically expressed to perform specific functions in vivo such as scaffolding enzymatic cascades and regulating gene expression through CRISPR-dCas9 applications. RNA origami is a recently developed RNA design approach that allows construction of large RNA nanostructures that can position aptamer motifs to spatially organize other molecules, including proteins. However, it is still not fully understood how positioning multiple aptamers on a scaffold and the orientation of a scaffold affects functional properties. Here, we investigate fusions of single-guide RNAs and RNA origami scaffolds (termed sgRNAO) capable of recruiting activating domains for control of gene expression in yeast. Using MS2 and PP7 as orthogonal protein-binding aptamers, we observe a gradual increase in transcriptional activation for up to four aptamers. We demonstrate that different aptamer positions on a scaffold and scaffold orientation affect transcriptional activation. Finally, sgRNAOs are used to regulate expression of enzymes of the violacein biosynthesis pathway to control metabolic flux. The integration of RNA origami nanostructures at promoter sites achieved here, can in the future be expanded by the addition of functional motifs such as riboswitches, ribozymes and sensor elements to allow for complex gene regulation.
