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 replicator region of composite plasmid pTAV1 of Paracoccus versutus (included in mini-replicon pTAV320) belongs to the family of repABC replicons commonly found in plasmids harbored by Agrobacterium and Rhizobium spp. The repABC replicons encode three genes clustered in an operon, which are involved in partitioning (repA and repB) and replication (repC). In order to localize the partitioning site of pTAV320, the two identified incompatibility determinants of this mini-replicon (inc1, located in the intergenic sequence between repB and repC; and inc2, situated downstream of the repC gene) were PCR amplified and used together with purified RepB fusion protein (homologous to the type B partitioning proteins binding to the partitioning sites) in an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. The protein bound only inc2, forming two complexes in a protein concentration-dependent manner. The inc2 region contains two long (14-bp) repeated sequences (R1 and R2). Disruption of these sequences completely eliminates RepB binding ability. R1 and R2 have sequence similarities with analogous repeats of another repABC replicon of plasmid pPAN1 of Paracoccus pantotrophus DSM 82.5 and with centromeric sequences of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. Excess RepB protein resulted in destabilization of the inc2-containing plasmid in Escherichia coli. On the other hand, the inc2 region could stabilize another unstable replicon in P. versutus when RepA and RepB were delivered in trans, proving that this region has centromere-like activity. Thus, it was demonstrated that repA, repB, and inc2 constitute a functional system for active partitioning of pTAV320.
