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

Transgene expression in eHAP cells, a haploid cell line commonly used to generate gene knockouts, is difficult due to its low transfection efficiency and poor expression of integrated transgenes. To enable simple and reliable transgene expression, we engineered insulated integrating plasmids that sustain high levels of transgene expression in eHAP cells, and that can be used in other cell lines. These vectors are compatible with FLP-FRT and piggyBac integration, they flank a gene-of-interest bilaterally with tandem cHS4 core insulators, and co-express nuclear-localized blue fluorescent protein for identification of high expressing cells. We further demonstrate that transgenic haploid eHAP cells can be fused to form transgenic heterozygous diploid cells. This method creates diploid cells carrying the transgenic material of the haploid progenitors and allows for engineering of cells with defined heterozygous genotypes. These tools expand the range of experiments that can be performed in eHAP cells and other cultured cells.
