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 assembly of antigen receptor genes by V(D)J recombination is initiated by the RAG1/RAG2 protein complex, which introduces double-strand breaks between recombination signal sequences and their coding DNA. Truncated forms of RAG1 and RAG2 are functional in vivo and have been used to study V(D)J cleavage, hybrid joint formation and transposition in vitro. Here we have characterized the activities of the full-length proteins. Unlike core RAG2, which supports robust transposition in vitro, full-length RAG2 blocks transposition of signal ends following V(D)J cleavage. Thus, one role of this non-catalytic domain may be to prevent transposition in developing lymphoid cells. Although full-length RAG1 and RAG2 proteins rarely form hybrid joints in vivo in the absence of non-homologous end-joining factors, we show that the full-length proteins alone can catalyze this reaction in vitro.
