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

Conserved motifs found in known bacterial polI DNA polymerase sequences were identified, and degenerate PCR primers were designed for PCR amplification of an internal portion of polI genes from all bacterial divisions. We describe here a method that has allowed the rapid identification and isolation of 13 polI genes from a diverse selection of thermophilic bacteria and report on the biochemical characteristics of nine of the purified recombinant enzymes. Several enzymes showed significant reverse-transcriptase activity in the presence of Mg2+, particularly the polymerases from Bacillus caldolyticus EA1, Caldibacillus cellovorans CompA.2, and Clostridium stercorarium.
