Characterization of expression in mice of a transgene containing 3.3 kb of the human lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) 5' flanking sequence.

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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimThe regulation of human intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase remains incompletely understood. One kb of pig and 2 kb of rat 5'-flanking sequence controls correct tissue, cell, topographic, and villus LCT expression. To gain insight into human LCT expression, transgenic mouse lines were generated from 3.3 kb of human LPH 5' flanking sequence from a lactase persistent individual fused to a human growth hormone (hGH) reporter bounded by an insulator.
methodsFour lines were identified in which reporter expression was specifically detectable in the intestine and no other organ, two of which demonstrated hGH expression specific to small and large intestine. Quantitative RT-PCR was carried out on proximal to distal segments of small intestine at fetal days 16.5 and 18.5 and at birth, postnatal days 7 and 28 in line 22.
resultsIn fetal intestine, hGH expression demonstrated a proximal to distal gradient similar to that in native intestine. There was no significant difference between hGH expression levels at 7 and 28 days in segment 3, the midpoint of the small intestine, where expression of endogenous lactase is maximal at 7 days and declines significantly by 28 days. Distal small intestine displayed high levels of hGH expression in enteroendocrine cells, which were shown to be a subset of the PYY cells.
conclusionsThus, a 3.3-kb LPH 5' flanking sequence construct from a lactase persistent individual is able to maintain postnatal expression in transgenic mice post weaning.
