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

We have used the phiC31 integrase to introduce large DNA sequences into a vertebrate genome and measure the efficiency of integration of intact DNA as a function of insert size. Inserts of 110 kb and 140 kb in length may be integrated with about 25% and 10% efficiency respectively. In order to overcome the problems of constructing transgenes longer than approximately 150 kb we have established a method that we call; 'Iterative Site Specific Integration' (ISSI). ISSI combines the activities of phiC31 integrase and Cre recombinase to enable the iterative and serial integration of transgenic DNA sequences. In principle the procedure may be repeated an arbitrary number of times and thereby allow the integration of tracts of DNA many hundreds of kilobase pairs long. In practice it may be limited by the time needed to check the accuracy of integration at each step of the procedure. We describe two ISSI experiments, in one of which we have constructed a complex array of vertebrate centromeric sequences of 150 kb in size. The principle that underlies ISSI is applicable to transgenesis in all organisms. ISSI may thus facilitate the reconstitution of biosynthetic pathways encoded by many different genes in transgenic plants, the assembly of large vertebrate loci as transgenes and the synthesis of complete genomes in bacteria.
