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

Hyperthermophilic microorganisms are an important asset in the toolkits of biotechnologists, biochemists and evolutionary biologists. The anaerobic archaeon, Thermococcus kodakarensis, has become one of the most useful hyperthermophilic model species, not least due to its natural competence and genetic tractability. Despite this, the range of genetic tools available for T. kodakarensis remains limited. Using sequencing and phylogenetic analyses, we determined that the rolling-circle replication origin of the cryptic mini-plasmid pTP2 from T. prieurii is suitable for plasmid replication in T. kodakarensis. Based on this replication origin, we present a novel series of replicative E. coli-T. kodakarensis shuttle vectors. These shuttle vectors have been constructed with three different selectable markers, allowing selection in a range of T. kodakarensis backgrounds. Moreover, these pTP2-derived plasmids are compatible with the single-existing E. coli-T. kodakarensis shuttle vector, pLC70. We show that both pTP2-derived and pLC70-derived plasmids replicate faithfully while cohabitating in T. kodakarensis cells. These plasmids open the door for new areas of research in plasmid segregation, DNA replication and gene expression.
