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

Gene targeting (GT) can introduce subtle alterations into a particular locus and represents a powerful tool for genome editing. Engineered zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are effective for generating minor allelic alterations. Efficient detection of such minor alterations remains one of the challenges in ZFN-mediated GT experiments. Here, we report the establishment of procedures allowing for efficient detection, quantification and enrichment of such subtle alterations. In a biallelic model, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is capable of detecting rare allelic variations in the form of DNA heteroduplexes at a high efficiency of ~0.4% compared with ~6.3% by the traditional T7 endonuclease I-digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis. In a multiple allelic model, PAGE could discriminate different alleles bearing addition or deletion of 1-18 bp as distinct bands that were easily quantifiable by densitometry. Furthermore, PAGE enables enrichment for rare alleles. We show for the first time that direct endogenous GT is possible in medaka by ZFN RNA injection, whereas PAGE allows for detection and cloning of ZFN-targeted alleles in adults arising from ZFN-injected medaka embryos. Therefore, PAGE is effective for detection, quantification and enrichment of multiple fine allelic differences and thus offers a versatile tool for screening targeted subtle gene alterations.
