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

A 7-nt motif (the trans-splicing motif or TSM) was previously shown to be necessary and sufficient to direct trans-splicing of transgenic mRNAs in transgenic Brugia malayi embryos. Insertion of the TSM into two genes lacking a TSM homologue resulted in trans-splicing of transgenic mRNAs from one transgene but not the other, suggesting that local sequence context might affect TSM function. To test this hypothesis, constructs inserting the TSM into different positions of two B. malayi genes were tested for their ability to support trans-splicing of transgenic mRNAs. Transgenic mRNAs derived from constructs in which the insertion of the TSM did not result in a perturbation of the local predicted secondary structure were trans-spliced, while those in which the TSM perturbed the local secondary structure were not. These data suggest that local secondary structure plays a role in the ability of the TSM to direct trans-splicing.
