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

Cell-free transcription-translation (TXTL) enables achieving an ever-growing number of applications, ranging from the rapid characterization of DNA parts to the production of biologics. As TXTL systems gain in versatility and efficacy, larger DNAs can be expressed in vitro extending the scope of cell-free biomanufacturing to new territories. The demonstration that complex entities such as infectious bacteriophages can be synthesized from their genomes in TXTL reactions opens new opportunities, especially for biomedical applications. Over the last century, phages have been instrumental in the discovery of many ground-breaking biotechnologies including CRISPR. The primary function of phages is to infect bacteria. In that capacity, phages are considered an alternative approach to tackling current societal problems such as the rise of antibiotic-resistant microbes. TXTL provides alternative means to produce phages and with several advantages over in vivo synthesis methods. In this chapter, we describe the basic procedures to purify phage genomes, cell-free synthesize phages, and quantitate them using an all-E. coli TXTL system.
