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

In general, genomic transgenes are expressed efficiently in mice, while their cDNA-based transgenes are frequently silent. Clark et al. (1992) have shown that silent cDNA transgenes under the control of the sheep beta-lactoglobulin promoter can be activated after co-injecting them with a genomic sheep beta-lactoglobulin transgene. We have tested the general utility of this concept using mouse whey acidic protein (WAP) transgenes. Here we show that WAP cDNA transgenes are virtually silent in transgenic mice. In contrast, WAP transgenes containing all introns are expressed in approximately 50% of the lines at levels ranging from 1% to more than 100% of the endogenous RNA (McKnight et al., 1992). When a WAP-genomic transgene was co-injected with a WAP-cDNA, basal activation of the cDNA was possible. However, the activity of the WAP-cDNA transgene did not exceed 1% of the WAP-genomic transgene. This suggests that a permissive integration site capable of supporting basal level transcription can be established, but further events are required for full activation of the transgene.
