In vivo construction of transgenes in Drosophila.
Article in Genetics, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Transgenic flies are generated by transposon-mediated transformation. A drawback of this approach is the size limit of transposable elements. Here, we propose a novel method that allows the extension of transgenes in vivo. This method is based on an incomplete transgene that has been constructed in vitro and integrated into the Drosophila genome by conventional transgenesis. The incomplete transgene contains two short stretches of DNA homologous to the 5'- and 3'-ends of a larger DNA segment of interest. Between the short stretches of homology an I-SceI recognition site is located. Once activated, I-SceI endonuclease introduces a DNA double-strand break, which triggers ectopic recombination between the stretches of homology and the endogenous locus. Through gap repair, the transgene obtains the complete region of interest in vivo. Our results show that this method is effective for copying up to 28 kb of genomic DNA into the transgene, thereby eliminating the technical difficulties associated with the in vitro construction of large transgenes and extending the size limits of current transgenesis protocols. In general, this method may be a useful technique for genetic engineering of eukaryotic model organisms.
