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

Relatively little is known about the interaction of eukaryotic replication terminator proteins with the cognate termini and the replication termination mechanism. Here, we report a biochemical analysis of the interaction of the Reb1 terminator protein of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which binds to the Ter3 site present in the nontranscribed spacers of ribosomal DNA, located in chromosome III. We show that Reb1 is a dimeric protein and that the N-terminal dimerization domain of the protein is dispensable for replication termination. Unlike its mammalian counterpart Ttf1, Reb1 did not need an accessory protein to bind to Ter3. The two myb/SANT domains and an adjacent, N-terminal 154-amino-acid-long segment (called the myb-associated domain) were both necessary and sufficient for optimal DNA binding in vitro and fork arrest in vivo. The protein and its binding site Ter3 were unable to arrest forks initiated in vivo from ars of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the cell milieu of the latter despite the facts that the protein retained the proper affinity of binding, was located in vivo at the Ter site, and apparently was not displaced by the "sweepase" Rrm3. These observations suggest that replication fork arrest is not an intrinsic property of the Reb1-Ter3 complex.
