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

An important aspect in the safety assessment of transgenic plants is the exact location of transgene insertion sites within the host genome. However, robust standard operating procedures are not currently available. Using potato as a test species, different methodologies for the determination of insertion sites using a range of published protocols and commercially available kits were assessed in transgenic lines of varying degrees of complexity, from low copy number to complex re-transformed and co-transformed lines. Three commercial kits, APAgene™ GOLD Genome Walking Kit (BIO S&T), DNA Walking SpeedUp™ Kit II (Seegene), and Universal Vectorette™ System (Sigma) were compared with an adaptor-mediated PCR technique. Overall, the APAgene™ kit was used with a high success rate with low copy number potato lines, and also more complex co- and re-transformed lines, and adhering to key confirmation steps it was possible to obtain flanking sequence ranging in size from 300 to 2,500 bp and eliminate PCR artefacts from the analysis.
