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

To establish a stable and scalable transient protein production system, we modified the EF-1 first intron size and verified the order of two recombinant enhancers downstream of the SV40 polyA sequence. This new vector was named pHH-Gemini (pHH-GM1) and was used to express alpha kinase 1 (ALPK1) and various other proteins, NLRP3, F-actin, Camodulin, PP2A, URAT1, Rab11a and myosin IIA. The results showed that, compared with six commercial plasmids, pHH-GM1 significantly enhanced His-HA-ALPK1 expression in a western blot analysis of transfected HEK293T cells. The expression of various other genes was also successful using the pHH-GM1 vector. In addition, we inserted turbo green florescence protein (tGFP) into the pHH-GM1 vector, and an improvement in fluorescence intensity was observed after transient transfection of HEK293T cells. For large-scale production, protein production was tested by standard supplementation with one volume of medium, and volumetric yields of 2 and 2.3 mg/L were achieved with pHH-GM1-ALPK1 in HEK293-F and CHO-S cells, respectively. We found that cell viability was more than 70% 11 days after cells were transfected with the pHH-GM1 vector. The pHH-GM1 vector with the ctEF-1α first intron and double enhancers, Simian virus 40 and Cytomegalovirus (SV40 and CMV) is an efficient CMV promoter-based gene expression system that can potentially be applied to study genes of interest and improve protein production.
