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

Synthetic biology (SynBio) makes biology easier by leveraging engineering principles and other disciplines to design and construct biological systems with novel or enhanced functions. SynBio has led to the development of more sustainable biotechnological innovations that are in harmony with the environment, aiding the shift from a traditional to a bio-based economy. Mexico has made significant advancements in biotechnology in academia and industry, but progress in engineering biology has been different. Nevertheless, several initiatives, mainly supported by the participation of Mexican International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) teams in the jamboree, have contributed to the interest of SynBio. This review provides a brief overview of the significant role of the iGEM competition and the current landscape of synthetic biology in Mexico, including educational and citizen science initiatives, as well as an overview of Synbio research and the industrial landscape. Additionally, a brief description of the current laws governing biotechnology in the country is provided. Finally, we highlight the challenges, opportunities and perspectives for the development of synthetic biology and the potential that Mexico has for a biologically based economy.
