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

In planta excision techniques have proven useful both for basic biology and applied biotechnology. In this report, we describe a simple site-specific recombination (SSR) strategy that simultaneously removes pre-defined DNA sequences from both sides of a transgenic "gene of interest," leaving only the desired gene and short sequences from the recombinase recognition site. We have used the FLP/FRT SSR system to provide a proof of concept, though any of several other SSR systems could be used in the same way. The frequency of double excision ranged from 33% to 83% in different transgenic lines. We show that a single SSR reaction can simultaneously carry out double excisions and resolve complex transgene loci at high frequency. The method has direct biotechnological application and provides a useful tool for basic research.
