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

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) transmit genetic information to the next progeny in males. Thus, SSCs are a potential target for germline modifications to generate transgenic animals. In this study, we report a technique for the generation of transgenic rats by in vivo manipulation of SSCs with a high success rate. SSCs in juvenile rats were transduced in vivo with high titers of lentivirus harboring enhanced green fluorescent protein and mated with wild-type females to create founder rats. These founder rats expressed the transgene and passed on the transgene with an overall success rate of 50.0%. Subsequent generations of progeny from the founder rats both expressed and passed on the transgene. Thus, direct modification of SSCs in juvenile rats is an effective means of generating transgenic rats through the male germline. This technology could be adapted to larger animals, in which existing methods for gene modification are inadequate or inapplicable, resulting in the generation of transgenic animals in a variety of species.
