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

Type III restriction enzymes have been demonstrated to require two unmethylated asymmetric recognition sites oriented head-to-head to elicit double-strand break 25-27 bp downstream of one of the two sites. The proposed DNA cleavage mechanism involves ATP-dependent DNA translocation. The sequence context of the recognition site was suggested to influence the site of DNA cleavage by the enzyme. In this investigation, we demonstrate that the cleavage site of the R.EcoP15I restriction enzyme does not depend on the sequence context of the recognition site. Strikingly, this study demonstrates that the enzyme can cleave linear DNA having either recognition sites in the same orientation or a single recognition site. Cleavage occurs predominantly at a site proximal to the DNA end in the case of multiple site substrates. Such cleavage can be abolished by the binding of Lac repressor downstream (3' side) but not upstream (5' side) of the recognition site. Binding of HU protein has also been observed to interfere with R.EcoP15I cleavage activity. In accordance with a mechanism requiring two enzyme molecules cooperating to elicit double-strand break on DNA, our results convincingly demonstrate that the enzyme translocates on DNA in a 5' to 3' direction from its recognition site and indicate a switch in the direction of enzyme motion at the DNA ends. This study demonstrates a new facet in the mode of action of these restriction enzymes.
