Improving engineered biological systems with electronics and microfluidics.
Review in Nature biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Hybrid engineered biological systems integrate electronics and microfluidics with engineered biological components, such as microbes or cell-free DNA-based systems, to effectively sense, act upon and report on biological environments. As these engineered biological systems become essential in addressing challenges in healthcare, environmental monitoring, remediation and agriculture, this Review offers an in-depth discussion of their applications, critical design choices and challenges. Alongside an overview of the state of the field, we present a classification framework aimed at helping researchers make informed and optimized design decisions tailored to the intended biological application. Furthermore, we outline how the development of cyber-secure biological systems could enhance the security and functionality of engineered biological platforms. Last, we introduce a 'Living Roadmap' ( https://www.programmingbiology.org/csbs ) to dynamically reflect the field's progress and support continuous monitoring of future advancements.
