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

The hyperthermophilic archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii encodes two putative transcription regulators, Ptr1 and Ptr2, related to the bacterial Lrp/AsnC family of transcriptional regulators. We show that these two small helix-turn-helix proteins are specific DNA-binding proteins recognizing sites in their respective promoter regions. In vitro selection at high temperature has been used to isolate sets of high- affinity DNA sites that define a palindromic consensus binding sequence for each protein. Ptr1 and Ptr2 bind these cognate sites from one side of the DNA helix, as dimers, with each protein monomer making base- specific contacts in the major groove. As the first archaeal DNA-binding proteins with clearly defined specificities, Ptr1 and Ptr2 provide a thermostable DNA-binding platform for analysis of effector interactions with the core archaeal transcription apparatus; a platform allowing manipulation of promoter structure and examination of mechanisms of action at heterologous promoters.
