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

Transformation of mitochondria in mammalian cells is now a technical challenge. In this report, we demonstrate that the standard drug resistant genes encoding neomycin and hygromycin phosphotransferases can potentially be used as selectable markers for mammalian mitochondrial transformation. We re-engineered the drug resistance genes to express proteins targeted to the mitochondrial matrix and confirmed the location of the proteins in the cells by fusing them with GFP and by Western blot and mitochondrial content mixing analyses. We found that the mitochondrially targeted-drug resistance proteins confer resistance to high levels of G418 and hygromycin without affecting the viability of cells.
