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

Transgenic (Tg) mice containing bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) DNA are widely used for gene expression analysis and gene therapy models because BAC transgenes provide gene expression at physiological levels with the same developmental timing as endogenous genes. To ensure correct interpretation of transgene functions, investigation of the genomic organisation and integration of the BAC transgene is required. Here, we describe a reliable method based on droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and inverse PCR to estimate copy number, genomic organisation and insertion sites of BAC transgenes in the mouse genome. We generated BAC Tg mice containing fragments of BAC clone RP23-59P20. ddPCR and iPCR analysis showed that the transgene consisted of five fragments of the BAC clone containing the Mkrn3 gene region, and that the transgene was inserted into Bckdhb, homozygous deletion of which causes the maple syrup urine disease phenotype. The ddPCR method described here should prove useful for analysis of genomic organisation and integration of BAC transgenes.
