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

Biomolecular condensates are a promising platform for synthetic cell formation and constitute a potential missing link between the chemical and cellular stage of the origins of life. However, it has proven challenging to integrate complex reaction networks into biomolecular condensates, such as a cell-free in vitro transcription-translation (IVTT) system. Integrating IVTT into biomolecular condensates successfully is one precondition for condensation-based synthetic cell formation. Moreover, it would provide a proof of concept that biomolecular condensates are in principle compatible with the central dogma, one of the hallmarks of cellular life. Here, we have systemically investigated the compatibility of eight different (bio)molecular condensates with IVTT incorporation. Of these eight candidates, we have found that a green fluorescent protein-labeled, intrinsically disordered cationic protein (GFP-K
