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

The chicken Ig lambda light chain locus is composed of a single V gene closely linked (1.8 kb) to a single J-C unit in its natural configuration. In mice transgenic for this locus, the transgene becomes rearranged in B cells and to a much lesser extent in T cells. Modifications were introduced in the transgene in order to characterize elements which target the recombinase to the Ig loci. In the absence of either the promoter or the enhancer located 3' of C lambda, rearrangement of the transgene is reduced 20- to 100-fold. Moreover, rearrangement is increased 5-fold when the DNA segment between V lambda and J lambda ('Uo segment'), which is deleted during the joining process, is replaced by a neutral DNA segment of equal length. The Uo segment behaved as a strong transcriptional silencer when tested in a CAT assay in vitro. Control transgenic mice harbouring only the two 3 bp mutations that introduced restriction sites at both ends of the Uo segment to allow for its replacement were also analysed. Rearrangement was reduced 10- to 100-fold in B cells from such transgenic lines. A model is proposed whereby the sites of these two mutations would function by counteracting transiently the repressing effect of the silencer, thus giving access of the chicken light chain locus to the recombinase.
