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

V(D)J recombination is initiated by double-strand cleavage at recombination signal sequences (RSSs). DNA cleavage is mediated by the RAG1 and RAG2 proteins. Recent experiments describing RAG protein-RSS complexes, while defining the interaction of RAG1 with the nonamer, have not assigned contacts immediately adjacent to the site of DNA cleavage to either RAG polypeptide. Here we use UV cross-linking to define sequence- and site-specific interactions between RAG1 protein and both the heptamer element of the RSS and the coding flank DNA. Hence, RAG1-DNA contacts span the site of cleavage. We also detect cross-linking of RAG2 protein to some of the same nucleotides that cross-link to RAG1, indicating that, in the binding complex, both RAG proteins are in close proximity to the site of cleavage. These results suggest how the heptamer element, the recognition surface essential for DNA cleavage, is recognized by the RAG proteins and have implications for the stoichiometry and active site organization of the RAG1-RAG2-RSS complex.
