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

Faithful replication of the entire genome once per cell cycle is essential for maintaining genetic integrity, and the origin of DNA replication is key in this regulation. Unlike that in unicellular organisms, the replication initiation mechanism in mammalian cells is not well understood. We have identified a strong origin of replication at the DBF4 promoter locus, which contains two initiation zones, two origin recognition complex (ORC) binding sites and two DNase I-hypersensitive regions within approximately 1.5 kb. Notably, similar to the Escherichia coli oriC, replication at the DBF4 locus starts from initiation zone I, which contains an ORC-binding site, and progresses in the direction of transcription toward initiation zone II, located approximately 0.4 kb downstream. Replication on the opposite strand from zone II, which contains another ORC-binding site, may be activated or facilitated by replication from zone I. We term this new mammalian replication mode 'asymmetric bidirectional replication'.
