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

Single-molecule studies have revealed molecular behaviors usually hidden in the ensemble and time averaging of bulk experiments. Single-molecule measurement that can control physical form of individual DNA molecules is a powerful method to obtain new knowledge about correlation between DNA-tension and enzyme activity. Here we study the effect of physical form of DNA on exonucleaseIII (ExoIII) reaction. ExoIII has a double-stranded DNA specific 3'-->5' exonuclease activity and the digestion is distributive. We observed the ExoIII digestion of individual stretched DNA molecules from the free ends. The sequentially captured photographs demonstrated that the digested DNA molecule linearly shortened with the reaction time. We also carried out the single-molecule observation under random coiled form by pausing the buffer flow. The digestion rates obtained from both single-molecule experiments showed that the digestion rate under the stretched condition was two times higher than the random coiled condition. The correlation between physical form of DNA and digestion rate of ExoIII was clearly demonstrated by single-molecule observations.
