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

Bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) are widely used for the construction of physical maps, positional-cloning and whole-genome sequencing strategies. Unfortunately, their use for functional genomics is limited, as currently there is no efficient method to use BACs directly for complementation. We describe a novel strategy for one-step conversion of any BAC into a binary BAC (BIBAC). Using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, these BIBACs can be efficiently transformed to virtually all organisms, including plants, fungi, yeasts and human cells. As the strategy is based on in vivo recombineering and does not depend on restriction sites, it is applicable to any vector. To show the feasibility of the method five BACs, containing 0-75 kb of fungal DNA, were converted into BIBACs. These were subsequently transformed to the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici and to Aspergillus awamori, a filamentous fungus often used for large-scale protein production. Molecular characterisation of the transformants showed that the BIBACs were efficiently transferred to the fungi and stably integrated into their genomes.
