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

Tol2 is a terminal-inverted-repeat transposable element of the medaka fish Oryzias latipes. It is a member of the hAT (hobo/Activator/Tam3) transposable element family that is distributed in a wide range of organisms. We here document direct evidence for de novo insertion of this element. A Tol2 clone marked with the bacterial tetracycline-resistance gene was microinjected into fertilized eggs together with a target plasmid, and the plasmid was recovered from embryos. The screening of plasmid molecules after transformation into Escherichia coli demonstrated transposition of tet into the plasmid and, by inference, precise insertion of Tol2 in medaka fish cells. De novo excision of Tol2 has previously been demonstrated. The present study provides direct evidence that the Tol2 element has the entire activity necessary for cut-and-paste transposition. Some elements of the mariner/Tc1 family, another widespread group, have already been applied to development of gene tagging systems in vertebrates. The Tol2 element of the hAT family, having different features from mariner/Tc1 family elements, also has potential as an alternative gene tagging tool in vertebrates.
