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

The group IIA intron Ll.LtrB from Lactococcus lactis and the group IIB intron EcI5 from Escherichia coli have intron-encoded proteins (IEP) with a DNA-binding domain (D) and an endonuclease domain (En). Both have been successfully retargeted to invade target DNAs other than their wild-type target sites. RmInt1, a subclass IIB3/D intron with an IEP lacking D and En domains, is highly active in retrohoming in its host, Sinorhizobium meliloti. We found that RmInt1 was also mobile in E. coli and that retrohoming in this heterologous host depended on temperature, being more efficient at 28°C than at 37°C. Furthermore, we programmed RmInt1 to recognize target sites other than its wild-type site. These retargeted introns efficiently and specifically retrohome into a recipient plasmid target site or a target site present as a single copy in the chromosome, generating a mutation in the targeted gene. Our results extend the range of group II introns available for gene targeting.
