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

Recombinant retroviral vectors producing multicistronic mRNAs were constructed. Picornavirus putative internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) were used to confer cap-independent translation of an internal cistron. Internal cistrons were engineered by ligation of various lengths of the IRES of encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus or polio virus to the E. coli chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene. The IRES/CAT fusions were introduced into retroviral vectors 3' to the translation stop codon of the neomycin phosphotransferase (NEO) gene, and the molecular constructs transfected into retroviral vector packaging lines. Retroviral vector producer cells efficiently express the internal CAT gene product only when the full length IRES is used. Both the EMC/CAT and polio/CAT retroviral vectors produced high titer vector supernatant capable of productive transduction of target cells. To test the generality of this gene transfer system, a retroviral vector containing an IRES fusion to the human adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene was constructed. Producer cell supernatant was used to transduce NIH/3T3 cells, and transduced cells were shown to express NEO, and ADA. Novel three-gene-containing retroviral vectors were constructed by introducing the EMC/ADA fusion into either an existing internal-promoter-containing vector, or a polio/CAT bicistronic vector. Producer cell clones of the three-gene vectors synthesize all three gene products, were of high titer, and could productively transduce NIH/3T3 cells. By utilizing cap-independent translation units, IRES vectors can produce polycistronic mRNAs which enhance the ability of retroviral-mediated gene transfer to engineer cells to produce multiple foreign proteins.
