HURDLER: a cloning method to overcome length limits in designed repeat proteins.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 number of internal repeat modules remains a major limiting factor in the construction and functional exploration of long repeat proteins. As a solution, we present High-Utility Recursive Directional Ligation for Extended Repeat proteins (HURDLER)-a modular cloning strategy combining codon optimization, seamless insertion of restriction sites, and modified recursive directional ligation. It presents a very robust technique to clone DNA for large repeat proteins, which may also contain non-repetitive parts, with high fidelity requiring a minimal number of individual cloning steps. Using HURDLER, we cloned designed armadillo repeat proteins with up to 85 internal modules, corresponding to >3700 residues. The method also generates intermediate variants with defined numbers of internal repeats, enabling systematic investigation of how the number of modules influences protein structure and function. HURDLER thereby provides a reliable solution to overcome restrictions in the overall number of internal modules used in the construction of very long repeat proteins. Such proteins are increasingly utilized as building blocks in macromolecular protein assemblies with defined structures.
