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

Plasmids and the model bacterium Escherichia coli are at the heart of recombinant gene technologies. Plasmids are handled in test tubes with enzymes such as restriction endonucleases, ligases, and polymerases. However, with the increasing demand for larger and more complex designs, in vitro manipulation constitutes a bottleneck. By combining recombination with genetic selection, in vivo manipulation of genomic DNA is becoming routine but is yet to be developed as a versatile and reliable way to make plasmid DNA. Here, we present a robust methodology for plasmid recombineering in E. coli using a triple-selection system customized for efficient performance at any copy number. Equipped with this genetic selection cassette, we generate a toolbox of plasmids in a standardized framework with popular genetic modules. By reducing the time and resources for making recombinant DNA, this approach should enable automation and accelerate the development of biological solutions.
