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

Several Golden Gate-based DNA assembly techniques have been developed previously with different limitations including the requirement for domestication of sequences with internal sites for the type IIS restriction enzymes used, insertion of persistent scars in assembled DNA and the need for multiple assembly vectors and overhang sequences. We developed UniClo, which overcomes all these problems. Sequences with internal type IIS sites can be assembled, it allows fully scarless hierarchical assembly and requires only three assembly vectors and two universal overhang sequences. This is achieved by three key elements: (i) Recombinant methylases are used
