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

The analysis of gene function frequently requires the generation of mutants. Deep-mutational scanning (DMS) has emerged as a powerful tool to decipher important functional residues within genes and proteins. However, methods for performing DMS tend to be complex or laborious. Here, we introduce Tiled-Region Exchange (T-REx) mutagenesis, which is a multiplexed modification of the Extremely Methodical and Parallel Investigation of Randomized Individual Codons mutagenesis approach. Self-encoded removal fragments are cloned in parallel in nonoverlapping gene locations and pooled. In a 1-pot reaction, oligonucleotides are then swapped with their corresponding self-encoded removal fragments in bulk using a single Golden Gate reaction. To aid in downstream phenotyping, the library is then fused with unique DNA barcodes using the Bxb1 recombinase. We demonstrate this approach and its optimizations to show that it is both easy to perform and efficient. This method offers simple and expedient means to create comprehensive mutagenesis libraries.
