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

backgroundExogenous RNAs can specifically up-regulate or down-regulate gene expression after they enter into cells. Alu RNAs are the main constituent of human transcriptome and participate in gene expression regulation. AluY elements belong to a subfamily of Alus and are the youngest Alus. In this paper, we established the technology method of preparing genetically engineered humanized AluY RNAs (AluY RNAs) from Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains. This technology method also can be used to prepare other genetically engineered humanized RNAs that can be used for cytology experiments.

resultsDifferent copies of human AluY elements were inserted into pET-28α plasmid (pET) to construct pET-AluY plasmids that were transformed into BMBL21-DE3 (DE3) E. coli. Isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside (IPTG) induction inhibited transformed bacterial growth after DE3 E. coli were transformed by pET-AluY × 8 plasmid (8 copies of AluYs were inserted into pET); northern blotting was used to detect the amount of AluY RNAs after 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 h inducing with IPTG. The results showed that the amount of AluY RNAs was the highest at 4 h; 1, 2, 4, 8 or 14 copies of AluY elements were inserted into the pET to construct pET-AluY plasmids that were transformed into DE3 bacteria, the northern blotting results showed that AluY RNAs production amount increased with the increase of AluY copy number; pET-AluY × 8 DE3 bacteria did not produce AluY RNAs without IPTG induction, AluY RNA production kept similar when inducing by 0.1-0.4 mg/ml IPTG induction, however, AluY RNA production slightly decreased if deviating from the above concentration range; pET-AluY × 8 DE3 bacteria were cultured at 34, 37 or 40 °C and the results showed that AluY RNA production was the highest under 37 °C cultivation; pET-AluY × 8 plasmid was transformed into three kinds of BL21 bacteria, including DE3, BMBL21-DE3-pLysS (pLysS) and Trans BL 21 (TransBL), the results showed that AluY RNA production was the highest when using DE3 bacteria.

conclusionsThe optimal conditions of producing AluY RNAs were: a kind of host bacteria of DE3, an engineering bacteria concentration of OD
