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

A high-throughput and sensitive screen for the improved expression of gene targets in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is described that is based upon the activity of the luciferase from Gaussia princeps. Using the Unspecific Peroxygenase (UPO) from Agrocybe aegerita (AaeUPO) as a model protein, improvements in expression, effected through error-prone PCR-based mutation within the signal peptide (SP) domain, can be detected using fusion of the target to Gaussia luciferase encoded downstream of the first folded domain of the AaeUPO protein and luminescent assay of expression supernatants. In this way, previously undiscovered mutations within the SP of AaeUPO that improve expression were revealed, and then applied to the expression of full-length AaeUPO in S. cerevisiae. The system was validated against control expression constructs that were well or poorly expressed and indicated a 13.9-fold improvement in expression for the best mutant over the wild-type SP sequence. It is envisaged that this protocol may be applied generally to the high-throughput detection of improved expression in S. cerevisiae for constructs that are engineered using directed evolution techniques.
