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

Genetic code expansion (GCE) in mammalian cells has emerged as a powerful technology for investigating and engineering protein function. This method allows for the precise incorporation of a rapidly growing toolbox of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into predefined sites of target proteins expressed in living cells. Due to the minimal size of these genetically encoded ncAAs, the wide range of functionalities they provide, and the ability to introduce them freely at virtually any site of any protein by simple mutagenesis, this technology holds immense potential for probing the complex biology of mammalian cells and engineering next-generation biotherapeutics. In this review, we provide an overview of the underlying machinery that enables ncAA mutagenesis in mammalian cells and how these are developed. We have also compiled an updated list of ncAAs that have been successfully incorporated into proteins in mammalian cells. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the current challenges that need to be addressed to fully harness the potential of this technology.
