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

We have developed a powerful new tool for the physical analysis of genomes called Ty1-mediated chromosomal fragmentation and have used the method to map 24-retrotransposon insertions into two different mouse-derived yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). Expression of a plasmid-encoded GAL1:Ty1 fusion element marked with the retrotransposition indicator gene, ade2AI, resulted in a high fraction of cells that sustained a single Ty1 insertion marked with ADE2. Strains in which Ty1ADE2 inserted into a YAC were identified by cosegregation of the ADE2 gene with the URA3-marked YAC. Ty1ADE2 elements also carried a site for the endonuclease I-DmoI, which we demonstrate is not present anywhere in the yeast genome. Consequently, I-DmoI cleaved a single chromosome or YAC at the unique site of Ty1ADE2 insertion, allowing rapid mapping of integration events. Our analyses showed that the frequency of Ty1ADE2 integration into YACs is equivalent to or higher than that expected based on random insertion. Remarkably, the 50-kb transcription unit of the mouse Steel locus was shown to be a highly significant hotspot for Ty1 integration. The accessibility of mammalian transcription units to Ty1 insertion stands in contrast to that of yeast transcription units.
