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 process of bacterial DNA replication generates chromosomal topological constraints that are further confounded by simultaneous transcription. Topoisomerases play a key role in ensuring orderly replication and partition of DNA in the face of a continuously changing DNA tertiary structure. In addition to topological constraints, the cellular position of the replication origin is strictly controlled during the cell cycle. In Caulobacter crescentus, the origin of DNA replication is located at the cell pole. Upon initiation of DNA replication, one copy of the duplicated origin sequence rapidly appears at the opposite cell pole. To determine whether the maintenance of DNA topology contributes to the dynamic positioning of a specific DNA region within the cell, we examined origin localization in cells that express temperature-sensitive forms of either the ParC or ParE subunit of topoisomerase (Topo) IV. We found that in the absence of active Topo IV, replication initiation can occur but a significant percent of replication origins are either no longer moved to or maintained at the cell poles. During the replication process, the ParC subunit colocalizes with the replisome, whereas the ParE subunit is dispersed throughout the cell. However, an active ParE subunit is required for ParC localization to the replisome as it moves from the cell pole to the division plane during chromosome replication. We propose that the maintenance of DNA topology throughout the cell cycle contributes to the dynamic positioning of the origin sequence within the cell.
