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

Transcription factor-based biosensors are important tools in Synthetic Biology for the sensing of industrially valuable molecules and clinically important metabolites, therefore presenting applications in the bioremediation, industrial biotechnology, and biomedical fields. The directed evolution of allosteric transcription factors (aTFs) with the aim of altering effector specificity has the potential for the development of new biosensors to detect natural and nonnatural molecules, expanding the scope of available aTF-based biosensors. In this chapter, we delineate a general method for the directed evolution of aTFs. The theory of library design is discussed, along with the detailed methodology for an improved transformation of combined libraries, and the experimental search space by counterselection using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is presented.
