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 insertion of large genetic circuits and metabolic pathways into bacterial genomes is becoming increasingly common within the field of synthetic biology due to the improved robustness and stability that come with genome integration. CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) enable RNA-guided DNA insertion without introducing double-stranded breaks and have been shown to function across diverse bacterial species. Here, we present an improved tool called pSPIN-GG and supporting protocols for simplified CAST-based genome engineering. The pSPIN-GG system includes Golden Gate-compatible promoter, guide, and cargo modules for simple assembly, a green fluorescent protein dropout cassette for rapid verification of guide replacement, and a set of tested sites within the Escherichia coli BL21 chromosome to enable gene dosing of genetic cargoes. These refinements support accelerated library construction, reduce assembly and screening burden, and expand the accessibility of CAST systems for multiplexed bacterial genome engineering.
