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

A series of different frameshift mutations of a firefly luciferase reporter plasmid was created so that no activity was obtained when they were transfected into mammalian cells. Co-transfection of these constructs with short fragments of the original sequence resulted in luciferase activity in different cell lines (A-549, NIH 3T3 and Jurkat). The level of this activity was dependent on the length of the fragment, regardless of cell line examined. Two different transfection techniques (lipofection and adenovirus-enhanced gene transfer) gave similar results. It was shown by polymerase chain reaction that expression of detectable luciferase required recombination of the transfected molecules. Cells with defined defects in DNA repair pathways were examined for their ability to perform this extrachromosomal recombination. Cells lacking normal Ku p80, (ADP-ribosyl)transferase, MLH1 or XP-C were all capable of restoring expression to the frameshifted constructs. Given the pivotal roles of the above molecules in the pathways of DNA repair, it seems that this recombination derives from a different activity.
