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

Caenorhabditis elegans benefits from a large set of tools for genome manipulation. Yet, the precise single-copy insertion of very large DNA constructs (>10 kb) and the generation of inversions are still challenging. Here, we adapted the phiC31 integrase system for C. elegans. We generated an integrated phiC31 integrase expressing strain flanked by attP sites that serves as a landing pad for integration of transgenes by recombination-mediated cassette exchange (RCME). This strain is unc-119(-) so RMCE integrants can be produced simply by injection of a plasmid carrying attB sites flanking unc-119(+) and the gene(s) of interest. Additionally, phiC31 integrase is removed concomitantly with integration, eliminating the need to outcross away the integrase. Integrations were obtained for insert sizes up to ∼33.4 kb. Taking advantage of this integration method we establish a dual-color fluorescent operon reporter system able to study post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA. Last, we show that large chromosomal segments can be inverted using phiC31 integrase. Thus, the phiC31 integrase system should be a useful addition to the C. elegans toolkit.
