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

Various sequences in the mammalian genomes are unstable. One class of sequence arrangement is long inverted repeats, which are known to be unstable in bacteria and yeast. While in mammals some evidence suggests that short inverted repeats (<10 bp long) may show instability, nothing is known about the stability of long inverted repeats. Here we describe two unrelated multicopy transgenes in the mouse (loci 109 and OX1-5), each of which contains a long inverted repeat that shows substantial mitotic instability. This instability also occurs in the germline so that mutant transgenes appear within pedigrees at a high frequency. The mutation processes acting at these two inverted repeats are complex and can involve insertion or deletion, and can result in stabilization of the transgene. At transgene 109 mutational events range from very small rearrangements at the centre of the inverted repeat to complete transgene deletion. In addition we show that the rates of mutation at the inverted repeat of transgene OX1-5 can vary between the male and female germlines and between inbred strains of mice, suggesting the possibility of a genetic analysis to identify loci that modulate inverted repeat instability.
