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

Acremonium chrysogenum, a producer of cephalosporin C, was subjected to DNA-mediated transformations using a vector without bacterial DNA sequences. Recombinant fungal strains were generated with a gel-purified DNA fragment, carrying only the mutated beta-tubulin gene from A. chrysogenum. The lack of any bacterial DNA was verified by Southern hybridization analysis and polymerase chain reaction amplifications to detect even residual DNA sequences. This procedure can be referred to as a self-cloning experiment for which less restricted working regulations are needed. Finally, the transfer of a synthetic hirudin gene by cotransformation demonstrated that any DNA molecule can be introduced into the A. chrysogenum genome without bacterial marker genes. This seems to be highly relevant for biotechnical processes in which safe recombinant producer strains are required to satisfy governmental restrictions.
