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

The possibility of producing transgenic cloned buffalos by nuclear transfer of fetal fibroblasts expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was explored in this study. When buffalo fetal fibroblasts (BFFs) isolated from a male buffalo fetus were transfected with pEGFP-N1 (EGFP is driven by CMV and Neo is driven by SV-40) by means of electroporation, Lipofectamine-LTX and X-tremeGENE, the transfection efficiency of electroporation (35.5%) was higher than Lipofectamine-LTX (11.7%) and X-tremeGENE (25.4%, P < 0.05). When BFFs were transfected by means of electroporation, more embryos from BFFs transfected with pEGFP-IRES-Neo (EGFP and Neo are driven by promoter of human elongation factor) cleaved and developed to blastocysts (21.6%) compared to BFFs transfected with pEGFP-N1 (16.4%, P < 0.05). A total of 72 blastocysts were transferred into 36 recipients and six recipients became pregnant. In the end of gestation, the pregnant recipients delivered six healthy calves and one stillborn calf. These calves were confirmed to be derived from the transgenic cells by Southern blot and microsatellite analysis. These results indicate that electroporation is more efficient than lipofection in transfecting exogenous DNA into BFFs and transgenic buffalos can be produced effectively by nuclear transfer of BFFs transfected with pEGFP-IRES-Neo.
