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

Programmable control of bacterial gene expression holds great significance for both applied and academic research. This is particularly true for Streptomyces, a genus of Gram-positive bacteria and major producers of prodigious natural products. Despite that a few inducible regulatory systems have been developed for use in Streptomyces, there is an increasing pursuit to augment the toolkit of high-performance induction systems. We herein report a robust and reversible thermo-inducible bio-switch, designated as StrepT-switch. This bio-switch enables tunable and reversible control of gene expression using physiological temperatures as stimulation inputs. It has been proven successful in highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering, as well as programmable control of antibiotic production and morphological differentiation. The versatility of the device is also demonstrated by thermal induction of a site-specific relaxase ZouA for overproduction of actinorhodin, a blue pigmented polyketide antibiotic. This study showcases the exploration a temperature-sensing module and exemplifies its versatility for programmable control of various target genes in Streptomyces species.
