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 vertebrate piggyBac derived transposase 5 (PGBD5) encodes a domesticated transposase, which is active and able to transpose its distantly related piggyBac-like element (pble), Ifp2. This raised the question whether PGBD5 would be more effective at mobilizing a phylogenetically closely related pble element. We aimed to identify the pble most closely related to the pgbd5 gene. We updated the landscape of vertebrate pgbd genes to develop efficient filters and identify the most closely related pble to each of these genes. We found that Tcr-pble is phylogenetically the closest pble to the pgbd5 gene. Furthermore, we evaluated the capacity of two murine and human PGBD5 isoforms, Mm523 and Hs524, to transpose both Tcr-pble and Ifp2 elements. We found that both pbles could be transposed by Mm523 with similar efficiency. However, integrations of both pbles occurred through both proper transposition and improper PGBD5-dependent recombination. This suggested that the ability of PGBD5 to bind both pbles may not be based on the primary sequence of element ends, but may involve recognition of inner DNA motifs, possibly related to palindromic repeats. In agreement with this hypothesis, we identified internal palindromic repeats near the end of 24 pble sequences, which display distinct sequences.
