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

Molecular cloning through in vivo assembly (IVA) is an efficient homology-based approach that can achieve complex cloning operations in a single step, bypassing the need for enzymes and reducing hands-on time and costs. However, primer design remains the most demanding task, requiring substantial expertise and a source of human error. Here, we introduce "IVA Prime," an intuitive online tool for automated primer design for IVA cloning, which reduces the workload and avoids errors. We describe how IVA Prime generates optimized primers for all cloning operations, i.e. mutagenesis, insertions, deletions, and subcloning. IVA Prime provides an intuitive interface and robust algorithms, thus mitigating the complexities associated with primer design into a single mouse click. A set of thoroughly tested default parameters allows both inexperienced users and experts to generate ready-to-order primer sequences for a standardized cloning protocol with high success rate. We describe the method and demonstrate its efficiency and reliability with example applications. IVA Prime is freely available at https://www.ivaprime.com.
