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

Matrix attachment regions (MARs) can enhance the expression level of transgene in Chinese hamster ovaries (CHO) cell expression system. However, improvements in function and analyses of the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we screened two new and more functional MAR elements from the human genome DNA. The human MAR-3 and MAR-7 element were cloned and inserted downstream of the polyA site in a eukaryotic vector. The constructs were transfected into CHO cells, and screened under G418 to produce the stably transfected cell pools. The expression levels and stability of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) were detected by flow cytometry. The transgene copy number and transgene expression at mRNA level were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that the expression level of eGFP of cells transfected with MAR-containing vectors were all higher than those of the vectors without MARs under transient and stably transfection. The enhancing effect of MAR-7 was higher than that of MAR-3. Additionally, we found that MAR significantly increased eGFP copy numbers and eGFP gene mRNA expression level as compared with the vector without. In conclusion, MAR-3 and MAR-7 gene can promote the expression of transgene in transfected CHO cells, and its effect may be related to the increase of the number of copies.
