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

Reverse genetics in mammals has relied on gene targeting strategies and has mostly been limited to the mouse. Gene targeting through homologous recombination in mouse ES cells has drawbacks which include time, expense and complexity. Recently, a new approach has been developed based on RNA-interference (RNAi) which is simpler, faster, less expensive, and should be applicable to mammalian species other than mouse. The advent of RNAi is poised to accelerate the pace at which reverse genetics can be applied to study gene function in mammals.
