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

We designed a new vector system for creating a random mutant library with multiple integrations of DNA fragments into the Rhodococcus genome in a single step. For this, we cotransformed two vectors into Rhodococcus by electroporation: pTip-istAB-sacB regulates the expression of the transposase (IstA) and its helper protein (IstB) under the influence of a thiostrepton-inducible promoter, and pRTSK-sacB provides the transposable-marker DNA. Both are multicopy vectors that are stable in the host cells; transposition of the transposable-marker DNA occurs only after the induction of IstA/IstB expression. With the addition of thiostrepton, all cultured cells harboring the two vectors, irrespective of the volume, can be mutated by random insertion of the transposable-marker DNA into their genome. Among the generated mutants examined, 30% showed multiple (two to five) insertion copies. The multiple integrated DNA copies were stable in the genome for more than 80 generations of serial growth without the addition of any selective antibiotics. This system can also be used for integrating various copy numbers of stably maintained protein expression cassettes in the host cell genome to modulate the expression level of biologically active recombinant proteins. We successfully applied this system to integrate multiple copies of expression cassettes for proline iminopeptidase and vitamin D(3) hydroxylase into the Rhodococcus genome and verified that the clones containing double or multiple copies of the integrated cassettes produced higher levels and showed higher enzymatic activities of the target protein than clones with only a single copy of integration.
