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

We devised an indicator gene for retrotransposition based on an autocatalytic ribozyme element--the Tetrahymena thermophila 23S rRNA group I intron--which can self-splice in vitro and does not require--at variance with nuclear mRNA introns--any specific pathway and cellular component for the completion of the splicing process. Several constructs, with the Tetrahymena intron adequately modified so as to be inserted at various positions within a neomycin-containing cassette under conditions that restore the neomycin-coding sequence after splicing out of the intron, were assayed for splicing efficiency in mammalian cells in culture. We show, both by northern blot analysis and by the recovery of neomycin activity upon retroviral transduction of the cassettes, that splicing efficiency depends on both the local base pairing and the global position of the intron within the neomycin transcript, and that some constructs are functional. We further show that they allow the efficient sorting out of retrotransposition events when assayed, as a control, with a human LINE retrotransposon. These indicator genes should be of great help in elucidating the mechanisms of transposition of a series of retroelements associated with transcripts not prone to nuclear mRNA intron splicing and previously not opened to any retrotransposition assay.
