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

Transgenesis is a valuable methodology for studying gene expression patterns and gene function. It has recently become available for research on some parasitic nematodes, including Strongyloides stercoralis. Previously, we described a vector construct, comprising the promoter and 3' UTR of the S. stercoralis gene Ss era-1 that gives expression of GFP in intestinal cells of developing F1 progeny. In the present study, we identified three new S. stercoralis promoters, which, in combination with the Ss era-1 3' UTR, can drive expression of GFP or the red fluorescent protein, mRFPmars, in tissue-specific fashion. These include Ss act-2, which drives expression in body wall muscle cells, Ss gpa-3, which drives expression in amphidial and phasmidial neurons and Ss rps-21, which drives ubiquitous expression in F1 transformants and in the gonads of microinjected P0 female worms. Concomitant microinjection of vectors containing GFP and mRFPmars gave dually transformed F1 progeny, suggesting that these constructs could be used as co-injection markers for other transgenes of interest. We have developed a vector "toolkit" for S. stercoralis including constructs with the Ss era-1 3' UTR and each of the promoters described above.
