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 sdhB gene encoding an iron-sulfur (Ip) subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.99.1) complex was cloned from Mortierella alpina 1S-4. The deduced amino acid sequence of SdhB from M. alpina 1S-4 showed high similarity to those of SdhB from other organisms. The mutated sdhB (CBXB) gene encodes a modified SdhB with an amino-acid substitution (a highly conserved histidine residue within the third cysteine-rich cluster of SdhB replaced by a leucine residue) and is known to confer carboxin resistance. We succeeded in transforming M. alpina 1S-4 by using the CBXB gene as a selectable marker gene and expressing the heterologous uidA gene encoding beta-glucuronidase of Escherichia coli. Moreover, transformation efficiency was up to 40-50 transformants per 4.0 x 10(8) spores. This carboxin-transformation system, characterized by marginal background growth and mitotic stability in M. alpina 1S-4, is considered to be widely useful for the wild strain, M. alpina 1S-4, and various derivative mutants without laborious preparation of auxotrophic mutants as a host strain.
