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

Interactions between paired homologous genes can lead to changes in gene expression. Such trans-regulatory effects exemplify transvection and are displayed by many genes in Drosophila, in which homologous chromosomes are paired somatically. Transvection involving the yellow cuticle pigmentation gene can occur by at least two mechanisms, one involving the trans-action of enhancers on a paired promoter and a second involving pairing-mediated bypass of a chromatin insulator. A system was developed to evaluate whether the action of the yellow enhancers in trans could be reconstituted outside of the natural near telomeric location of the yellow gene. To this end, transgenic flies were generated that carried a yellow gene modified by the inclusion of strategically placed recognition sites for the Cre and FLP recombinases. Independent action of the recombinases produced a pair of derivative alleles, one enhancerless and the other promoterless, at each transgene location. Transvection between the derivatives was assessed by the degree of interallelic complementation. Complementation was observed at all eight sites tested. These studies demonstrate that yellow transvection can occur at multiple genomic locations and indicate that the Drosophila genome generally is permissive to enhancer action in trans.
