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

backgroundNatural life systems can be significantly modified at the genomic scale by human intervention, demonstrating the great innovation capacity of genome engineering. Large epi-chromosomal DNA structures were established in Escherichia coli cells, but some of these methods were inconvenient, using heterologous systems, or relied on engineered E. coli strains.

resultsThe wild-type model bacterium E. coli has a single circular chromosome. In this work, a novel method was developed to split the original chromosome of wild-type E. coli. With this method, novel E. coli strains containing two chromosomes of 0.10 Mb and 4.54 Mb, and 2.28 Mb and 2.36 Mb were created respectively, designated as E. coli

conclusionFinally, we successfully developed a simple CRISPR-based genome engineering technique for the construction of multi-chromosomal E. coli strains with no heterologous genetic parts. This technique might be applied to other prokaryotes for synthetic biology studies and applications in the future.
