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

Ligation-independent cloning (LIC), such as Gibson Assembly, tends to produce clones without an insert, depending on the sequences present at the ends of linearized vectors. We used a nicking enzyme-mediated LIC (NE-LIC) method to construct a cDNA library in a binary vector pER8. Prior to constructing the cDNA library, pilot experiments were carried out, in which the GUS coding sequence was cloned into pER8 using NE-LIC. Approximately 12% of input vector DNAs were converted to plasmids carrying a GUS insert, and no plasmids without an insert were detected, indicating that this strategy is highly effective for cloning with the binary vector pER8. Therefore, NE-LIC was adopted to construct a cDNA library in pER8, by using cDNA that was PCR-amplified from a library constructed in another vector. As a result, a cDNA library in pER8 was successfully constructed. During library construction, it is important to exclude plasmids without an insert, since contamination from plasmids without inserts decreases the efficiency of screening. Therefore, NE-LIC is useful for the construction of cDNA libraries.
