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

Random PCR mutagenesis is a powerful tool for structure-function analysis of targeted proteins, especially when coupled with DNA integration through natural transformation followed by selection for loss of function. The technique has been applied successfully to structure-function analysis of transcriptional regulators, enzymes, and transporters in Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1. However, the mismatch repair system prevents the full spectrum of nucleotide substitutions that may be selected at the level of protein function from being recovered. This barrier may be overcome by introducing PCR-mutagenized genes into strains in which the corresponding genes have been deleted.
