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

Reporter genes have been used as a powerful tool to analyze cis-regulatory elements responsible for temporal and spatial expression in the early development of sea urchin. However, here we show that the transgenes introduced into the sea urchin embryos undergo suppression in larval stage. The transgene silencing could be one of major obstacle in the analysis of regulatory regions in the late stages of development. We previously demonstrated that a DNA fragment (ArsI) located in the upstream region of sea urchin (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) arylsulfatase gene has the property of an insulator. We show that tandem ArsI prevents silencing of a transgene in sea urchin larvae when the ArsI is fused to the 5' end of the reporter gene. Furthermore, we demonstrate that DNA of the reporter gene introduced into the sea urchin eggs is methylated during development and that the ArsI protects the transgene from the DNA methylation.
