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

Protein editing, as mediated by protein trans-splicing, offers the ability to manipulate, label, and modify proteins in vitro and in live mammalian cells. This ability to observe and control proteins with this high resolution is a burgeoning area of interest within the chemical biology field. In this protocol, we outline the general approach for setting up a cellular protein editing experiment, emphasizing the planning process for a successful protein editing experiment. Additionally, we include methods to install and subsequently label a click chemistry handle p-azido-phenylalanine, a non-canonical amino acid (ncAA) within the intein donor, such that this ncAA and any label can be edited into a protein in live mammalian cells. Overall, we anticipate that this protocol should serve as a generalizable roadmap for planning and carrying out a protein editing experiment. © 2026 The Author(s).
