Introduction and expression of the bacterial glyoxylate cycle genes in transgenic mice.
Article in Transgenic research, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 glyoxylate cycle, catalysed by two unique enzymes: isocitrate lyase (ICL; EC 4.1.3.1) and malate synthase (MS; EC 4.1.3.2), is necessary for the net conversion of acetate into glucose. This metabolic pathway operates in microorganisms, higher plants and nematodes. Two bacterial genes, encoding ICL and MS, were modified in order to introduce them into the mouse germ line. The ovine metallothionein-Ia (MT-Ia) promoter-ace B gene-ovine growth hormone (GH) gene (3' GH sequence) construct was fused to the ovine, MT-Ia promoter-ace A gene-ovine GH gene (3' GH sequence). Therefore, in this single DNA sequence, both ace A and ace B are under independent MT-Ia promoter control and can be induced by zinc. Transgenic mice were generated by pronuclear microinjection of the ace B-ace A gene construct. We now report the establishment of four mouse lines carying these two transgenes. Studies on the progeny of these lines indicate that one line (No. 91) is expressing both genes at the mRNA and enzyme levels in the liver and intestine, whereas another line (No. 66) has a much lower expression. Both enzyme activities were detected in the liver and intestine at levels up to 25% of those measured in fully derepressed Escherichia coli cells.
