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

A common strategy in biological research is to use the expression of a reporter transgene to non-destructively visualize or measure a biological parameter or process that is otherwise not visible or readily detectable. Genetic reporters have greatly impacted practically all fields of biological research, from visualizing biology in bacteria and microbes, through plant biology, to preclinical research in higher eukaryotes. Fundamentally, many reporter gene assays are reliant upon the expression of a relatively small number of transgenes (e.g., green fluorescent protein (GFP) or firefly luciferase (Fluc)), however, by regulating their expression in different ways, it is possible to generate enormous diversity in the specific aspects of biology measured. For the purposes of this review, rather than focus on the non-invasive imaging modalities or reporter transgenes themselves (recently reviewed
