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

For the past 30 years, in vitro transcription (IVT) technology has been extensively used for RNA production or for basic transcriptional mechanism research. However, methods for mRNA quantification still need to be improved. In this study, we designed a RT-IVT method using binary fluorescence quencher (BFQ) probes and the PBCV-1 DNA ligase to quantify mRNA production in real-time by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and RNA-splinted DNA ligation. Compared with existing methods, the RT-IVT method is inexpensive and non-radioactive, and can detect mRNA production in unpurified systems in real-time and shows high sensitivity and selectivity. The activity of T7 RNA polymerase and Escherichia coli RNA polymerase holoenzyme was then characterized with this method. We then multiplexed the real-time mRNA quantification for three T7 promoters on a RT-PCR thermocycler by using BFQ probes with different colored fluorophores that were specific for each target. Ultimately, we created an inexpensive multiplexed method to quantify mRNA production in real-time, and future research could use these methods to measure the affinity of transcriptional repressors to their target DNA sequence.
