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

Rous sarcoma virus-based retroviral vectors were constructed to compare three different approaches for coexpressing two genes in individual infected cells. All vectors expressed the upstream gene (lacZ) from the Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat, while the downstream gene (the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene [cat] or v-src) was expressed in one of three ways: from a subgenomic mRNA generated by regulated splicing, from a strong internal promoter, or from the encephalomyocarditis virus internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Both biochemical and immunohistochemical assays of cultured cells showed that the encephalomyocarditis virus IRES provided the most efficient means for coexpressing two genes from a single provirus. Most importantly, most cells infected by a LacZ-IRES-CAT virus expressed both LacZ and CAT, whereas most cells infected by internal promoter or regulated splicing vectors expressed either LacZ or CAT but not both. In addition, viral titers were highest with IRES vectors. Presumably, use of the IRES avoids transcriptional controls and RNA processing steps that differentially affect expression of multiple genes from internal promoter and regulated splicing vectors. Finally, we injected a LacZ-IRES-v-Src virus into chicken embryos and then identified the progeny of infected cells with a histochemical stain for LacZ. LacZ-positive cells in both skin and mesenchyme displayed morphological abnormalities attributable to expression of v-src. Thus, IRES vectors can be used to coexpress a reporter gene and a bioactive gene in vivo.
