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

Permanent and reversible genetic modifications are important approaches to study gene function in different cell types. They are also important for stem cell researchers to explore and test the therapeutic potential of stem cells. The piggyBac transposon from insects is a rising nonviral system that efficiently mutagenizes and mediates gene transfer into the mammalian genome. It is also characterized by its precise excision, leaving no trace sequence behind so that the genomic integrity of the mutated cell can be restored. Here, we use an optimized piggyBac transposon system to mediate gene transfer and expression of a bifunctional fluorescent reporter in human embryonic stem (ES) cells. We provide molecular evidence for transposase-mediated piggyBac integration events and functional evidence for successful expression of a transferred fluorescent protein genes in human ES cells and their in vitro differentiated derivatives. We also demonstrate that the integrated piggyBac transposon can be removed and an undisrupted insertion site can be restored, which implies potential applications for its use in gene therapy and genetics studies.
