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

In the present work, a simple and straightforward method was developed to clone any PCR-amplified products into restriction sites that are very close, adjacent or overlapping in the expression vector. The novelty of the methodology involves a crucial primer-designing step by adding appropriate overhangs to the 5' ends of primers based on the multiple cloning sites (MCS) (polylinker) region of expression vector. After PCR amplification, actual cloning is performed not in adjacent RE sites, but in sites that are little distant in the MCS. However, the sites lost during this cloning step are maintained intact since they are provided by the cloned PCR product (through the primer overhangs). Gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP) was cloned and expressed employing this strategy to demonstrate its simplicity. This method is highly useful for vector modification without losing the restriction sites present in the MCS.
