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

The remarkable high affinity (Kd approximately 10(-15) M) of avidin/streptavidin for biotin has been extensively exploited in purification methodologies. Recently a small peptide sequence (Avi-tag) has been defined that can be specifically and efficiently biotinylated by the bacterial BirA biotin ligase. Fusion of this small peptide sequence to a protein of interest and co-expression with the BirA gene in mammalian cells allowed purification of the biotinylated protein together with its associated proteins and other molecules. Ideally, one would like to apply these technologies to purify tagged proteins directly from mouse tissues. To make this approach feasible for a large variety of proteins we developed a mouse strain that expresses the BirA gene ubiquitously by inserting it in the ROSA26 locus. We demonstrate that the BirA protein is indeed expressed in all tissues tested. In order to demonstrate functionality we show that it biotinylates the transgene-encoded Avi-tagged Gata1 and Oct6 transcription factors in erythroid cells of the foetal liver and Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve respectively. Therefore, this mouse can be crossed to any transgenic mouse to obtain efficient biotinylation of an Avi-tagged protein for the purpose of protein (complex) purification.
