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

summaryKeratin 18 (K18) expression is a defining characteristic of internal epithelial cells of mammals. Here, we used the K18 gene and an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) to express green fluorescent protein, human placental alkaline phosphatase, and a modified Cre recombinase in an epithelial specific pattern in transgenic mice. The K18-driven alkaline phosphatase was expressed in liver, kidney, uterine endometrium, and other internal epithelia. The enzymatic activity of the Cre recombinase-mutant estrogen receptor fusion protein was dependent on tamoxifen administration and resulted in a mosaic pattern in internal epithelia, including bladder, uterus, liver, and kidney. This conditional Cre activity in internal epithelial organs should be valuable for strategies utilizing Cre for activation of gene expression. This study demonstrates that the tissue-specific, position-independent transcriptional activity of the K18 gene is not compromised by the use of an IRES element for the expression of a second protein from a bicistronic mRNA.
