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 developed an easy, reliable two-step method for the insertion of large DNA fragments into any desired location in the E. coli chromosome. The method is based on the recombineering of a small (∼1.3 kbp) "Landing Pad" into the chromosome at the insertion site, to which the large construct is subsequently delivered via I-SceI endonuclease excision from a donor plasmid. To demonstrate the power of this method, we here show the insertion of a fragment containing the entire lac operon (∼9 kbp) into four predefined novel locations in the E. coli chromosome, a feat not possible with existing technologies. In addition, the chromosomal breaks induced by landing pad excision provide sufficient selective pressure that positive selection by antibiotics is unnecessary, making precise, exact insertion without extraneous sequence possible.
