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 transfer of recombinant DNA by microinjection of embryo pronuclei provides a novel approach to the manipulation of production traits in domestic animals. In this review, several of the key areas currently under investigation are examined and their progress evaluated. These include the manipulation of the endocrine system by altered growth hormone genes and the modification of animal biochemistry by the introduction of the cysteine biosynthetic pathway and the glyoxylate cycle. The possibilities inherent in the alteration of structural proteins important to domestic animal productivity, and some ethical issues relevant to the release of modified animals are also considered. The experimental information obtained so far in the area indicates that transcriptional regulation of the genes and a thorough understanding of the physiological processes involved are both important factors in the practical application of the technique to the improvement of animal productivity.
