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

Golden Gate assembly is a requisite method in synthetic biology that facilitates critical conventions such as genetic part abstraction and rapid prototyping. However, compared to robotic implementation, manual Golden Gate implementation is cumbersome, error-prone, and inconsistent for complex assembly designs. AssemblyTron is an open-source python package that provides an affordable automation solution using open-source OpenTrons OT-2 lab robots. Automating Golden Gate assembly with AssemblyTron can reduce failure-rate, resource consumption, and training requirements for building complex DNA constructs, as well as indexed and combinatorial libraries. Here, we dissect a panel of upgrades to AssemblyTron's Golden Gate assembly capabilities, which include Golden Gate assembly into modular cloning part vectors, error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combinatorial mutant library assembly, and modular cloning indexed plasmid library assembly. These upgrades enable a broad pool of users with varying levels of experience to readily implement advanced Golden Gate applications using low-cost, open-source lab robotics.
