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

An intein-mediated approach was developed for expression and affinity purification of a protein that is lethal to Escherichia coli. The protein, I-TevI, is an intron-encoded endonuclease. The approach involved the insertional inactivation of I-TevI with a controllable mini-intein placed in front of a cysteine required for splicing (an I-TevI::intein fusion). The purification was facilitated by a chitin-binding domain inserted into the mini-intein. Affinity purification of the I-TevI::intein fusion precursor on a chitin column was followed by pH-controllable splicing to restore the structure and function of I-TevI. To study the impact of the insertion context on I-TevI inactivation, the chimeric intein was inserted independently in front of seven cysteines of I-TevI. One of the seven intein integrants yielded I-TevI of high activity. This technique is, in principle, generalizable to the expression and purification of other cytotoxic proteins and is amenable to scale-up.
