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

Human replication protein A (RPA), a heterotrimer composed of RPA70, RPA32, and RPA14 subunits, contains four single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding domains (DBD): DBD-A, DBD-B, and DBD-C in RPA70 and DBD-D in RPA32. Although crystallographic or NMR structures of these DBDs and a trimerization core have been determined, the structure of the full length of RPA or the RPA-ssDNA complex remains unknown. In this article, we have examined the structural features of RPA interaction with ssDNA by fluorescence spectroscopy. Using a set of oligonucleotides (dT) with varying lengths as a molecular ruler and also as the substrate, we have determined at single-nucleotide resolution the relative positions of the ssDNA with interacting intrinsic tryptophans of RPA. Our results revealed that Trp528 in DBD-C and Trp107 in DBD-D contact ssDNA at the 16th and 24th nucleotides (nt) from the 5'-end of the substrate, respectively. Evaluation of the relative spatial arrangement of RPA domains in the RPA-ssDNA complex suggested that DBD-B and DBD-C are spaced by about 4 nt ( approximately 19 A) apart, whereas DBD-C and DBD-D are spaced by about 7 nt ( approximately 34 A). On the basis of these geometric constraints, a global structure model for the binding of the major RPA DBDs to ssDNA was proposed.
