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 have assembled two BAC vectors containing a single fragment spanning the entire CFTR locus and including the upstream and downstream regions. The two vectors differ in size of the upstream region, and were recovered in Escherichia coli, with intact BAC DNAs prepared for structural and functional analyses. Sequence analysis allowed precise mapping of the inserts. We show that the CFTR gene was wild type and is categorized as the most frequent haplotype in Caucasian populations, identified by the following polymorphisms: (GATT)₇ in intron 6a; (TG)₁₁T₇ in intron 8; V470 at position 470. CFTR expression and activity were analyzed in model cells by RT-PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, indirect immunofluorescence and electrophysiological methods, which show the presence of an active CFTR Cl ⁻ channel. Finally, and supporting the hypothesis that CFTR functions as a receptor for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we show that CFTR-expressing cells internalized more bacteria than parental cells that do not express CFTR. Overall, these data demonstrate that the BAC vectors contain a functional CFTR fragment and have unique features, including derivation from a single fragment, availability of a detailed genomic map and the possibility to use standard extraction procedures for BAC DNA preparations.
