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

Human/mouse artificial chromosomes (HACs/MACs) serve as gene vectors for transferring of megabase DNA sequences and multiple gene cassettes into mammalian cells. However, their full potential is hindered by the lack of effective gene-loading methods. In this study, we developed a fragment assembly (FA) system that enables reconstitution of introduced sequences in HACs/MACs by simultaneously loading multiple gene-loading vectors (GLVs) while removing the GLV vector backbone sequences. As a proof of principle, we simultaneously loaded three GLVs, which encode the promoter, open reading frame of a gene, and a poly A signal sequence, onto a MAC carrying a gene-loading pad for the FA system. We successfully obtained clones bearing a reconstituted gene expression cassette on the MAC. Further introduction of three GLVs in two gene-loading steps enabled the reconstitution of another gene expression cassette in the MAC. The gene-loaded MAC was transferable to other cells, and the introduced cells expressed the reconstituted genes. These data demonstrate that the FA system is useful for reconstituting multiple sequences in HACs/MACs.
