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 site-specific DNA rearrangement process, called V(D)J recombination, creates much of the diversity of immune receptor molecules in the adaptive immune system. Central to this reaction is the organization of the protein-DNA complex containing the proteins RAG1 and RAG2 and their DNA targets. A long-term goal is to appreciate the three-dimensional relationships between the proteins and DNA that allow the assembly of the appropriate reaction intermediates, resulting in concerted cleavage and directed rejoining of the DNA ends. Previous cross-linking approaches have mapped RAG1 contacts on the DNA. RAG1 protein contacts the DNA at the conserved heptamer and nonamer sequences as well as at the coding DNA adjacent to the heptamer. Here we subject RAG1, covalently cross-linked to DNA substrates, to partial cyanogen bromide degradation or trypsin proteolysis in order to map contacts on the protein. We find that coding-sequence contacts occur near the C terminus of RAG1, while contacts made within the recombination signal sequence occur nearer the N terminus of the core region of RAG1. A deletion protein lacking the C-terminal DNA-contacting region is still capable of making the N-terminal contacts. This suggests that the two binding interactions may exist on two separate domains of the protein. A trypsin cleavage pattern of the native protein supports this conclusion. A two-domain model for RAG1 is evaluated with respect to the larger recombination complex.
