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

The eukaryotic mariner transposons are currently thought to have no sequence specificity for integration other than to insert within a TA contained in a degenerated [TA](1-4) tract, either in vitro or in vivo. We have investigated the properties of a suspected hotspot for the integration of the mariner Mos1 element, namely the Tn9 cat gene that encodes a chloramphenicol acetyl transferase. Using in vitro and bacterial transposition assays, we confirmed that the cat gene is a preferential target for MOS1 integration, whatever its sequence environment, copy number or chromosomal locus. We also observed that its presence increases transposition rates both in vitro and in bacterial assays. The structural and sequence features that constitute the attractiveness of cat were also investigated. We first demonstrated that supercoiling is essential for the cat gene to be a hot spot. In contrast to the situation for Tc1-like elements, DNA curvature and bendability were not found to affect integration target preferences. We found that Mos1 integrations do not occur randomly along the cat gene. All TA dinucleotides that are preferred for integration were found within either TATA or TA x TA motifs. However, these motifs are not sufficient to constitute an attractive dinucleotide, since four TATA and TA x TA sites are cold spots.
