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 predicted ribonuclease (RNase) HI domain of the open reading frame Rv2228c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been cloned as a hexahistidine fusion and a maltose-binding protein (MBP) fusion. Expression was only observed for the MBP-fusion protein, which was purified using amylose affinity chromatography and gel filtration. The RNase HI domain could be cleaved from the MBP-fusion protein by factor Xa digestion, but was very unstable. In contrast, the fusion protein was stable, could be obtained in high yield and gave crystals which diffracted to 2.25 A resolution. The crystals belong to space group P2(1) and have unit-cell parameters a = 73.63, b = 101.38, c = 76.09 A, beta = 109.0 degrees. Two fusion-protein molecules of 57,417 Da were present in each asymmetric unit.
