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

Since prokaryotic restriction-modification (RM) systems protect the host by cleaving foreign DNA by restriction endonucleases, it is difficult to introduce engineered plasmid DNAs into newly isolated microorganisms whose RM system is not discovered. The prokaryotes also possess methyltransferases to protect their own DNA from the endonucleases. As those methyltransferases can be utilized to methylate engineered plasmid DNAs before transformation and to enhance the stability within the cells, the study on methyltransferases in newly isolated bacteria is essential for genetic engineering. Here, we introduce the mechanism of the RM system, specifically the methyltransferases and their biotechnological applications. These biotechnological strategies could facilitate plasmid DNA-based genetic engineering in bacteria strains that strongly defend against foreign DNA.
