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

Construction of synthetic circuits that can reprogram genetic networks and signal pathways is a long-term goal for manipulation of biosystems. However, it is still highly challenging to build artificial genetic communications among endogenous RNA species due to their sequence independence and structural diversities. Here we report an RNA-based synthetic circuit that can establish regulatory linkages between expression of endogenous genes in both Escherichiacoli and mammalian cells. This design employs a displacement-assembly approach to modulate the activity of guide RNA for function control of CRISPR/Cas9. Our experiments demonstrate the great effectiveness of this RNA circuit for building artificial connections between expression of originally unrelated genes. Both exogenous and naturally occurring RNAs, including small/microRNAs and long mRNAs, are capable of controlling expression of another endogenous gene through this approach. Moreover, an artificial signal pathway inside mammalian cells is also successfully established to control cell apoptosis through our designed synthetic circuit. This study provides a general strategy for constructing synthetic RNA circuits, which can introduce artificial connections into the genetic networks of mammalian cells and alter the cellular phenotypes.
