The design of synthetic gene circuits in plants: new components, old challenges.
Review in Journal of experimental botany, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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.
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
The fascination produced by the possibility of engineering plants with augmented capabilities has accompanied plant biotechnology since its origins. This prospect has become even more relevant in present times under the pressure imposed by climate change and population growth. Today's plant biotechnologists approach this challenge with the tools of synthetic biology, which facilitate the assembly of synthetic gene circuits (SGCs) from their modular components. Transcriptional SGCs take environmental or endogenous inputs and operate them using transcriptional signals in ways that do not necessarily occur in nature, generating new physiological outputs. Many genetic components have been developed over the years that can be employed in the design and construction of plant SGCs. This review aims to provide an updated view of the components available, proposing a general scheme that facilitates the classification of circuit components in sensor, processor, and actuator modules. Following this analogy, we review the latest advances in the design of SGCs and discuss the main challenges ahead.
