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

Long inverted repeats (palindromes) are ubiquitous among prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Earlier work has implicated both DNA breaks and short inverted repeats (IRs) in the formation of long palindromes in yeast and Tetrahymena by a proposed mechanism of intramolecular recombination. Here we report that long-palindromic linear plasmids are formed in Streptomyces following double strand DNA breakage by a nonrecombinational intra-strand annealing process that also involves IRs. By modification of palindrome-generating linear plasmids and development of a novel procedure that enables the sequencing of palindrome junctions, we show that long-palindrome formation occurs by unimolecular intra-strand annealing of IRs followed by 3' extension of the resulting DNA fold-back. The consequent hairpin structures serve as templates for synthesis of duplex linear plasmids containing long palindromes. We suggest that this model for long-palindrome formation in Streptomyces may represent a generally applicable mechanism for generating DNA palindromes.
