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 Tn10 transpososome is a DNA processing machine in which two transposon ends, a transposase dimer and the host protein integration host factor (IHF), are united in an asymmetrical complex. The transitions that occur during one transposition cycle are not limited to chemical cleavage events at the transposon ends, but also involve a reorganization of the protein and DNA components. Here, we demonstrate multiple pathways for Tn10 transposition. We show that one series of events is favored over all others and involves cyclic changes in the affinity of IHF for its binding site. During transpososome assembly, IHF is bound with high affinity. However, the affinity for IHF drops dramatically after cleavage of the first transposon end, leading to IHF ejection and unfolding of the complex. The ejection of IHF promotes cleavage of the second end, which is followed by restoration of the high affinity state which in turn regulates target interactions.
