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

Minicircle DNA vectors allow sustained transgene expression in quiescent cells and tissues. To improve minicircle production, we genetically modified Escherichia coli to construct a producer strain that stably expresses a set of inducible minicircle-assembly enzymes, ΦC31 integrase and I-SceI homing endonuclease. This bacterial strain produces purified minicircles in a time frame and quantity similar to those of routine plasmid DNA preparation, making it feasible to use minicircles in place of plasmids in mammalian transgene expression studies.
