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

Like most enzymes, DNA polymerases undergo a large conformational change on the binding of a correct nucleotide. To determine how the conformational change contributes to substrate specificity, we labeled the T7 DNA polymerase with a conformationally sensitive fluorophore at a position that provides a signal coincident with structural changes following nucleotide binding and distinguishes correct base pairs from incorrect ones by the sign of the fluorescence change. Here we describe methods to document that only one site on the polymerase was labeled with the fluorophore based on mass spectral analysis of tryptic peptides. In addition, we show by equilibrium titrations of opposing signals that mismatches and correct bases compete for the same site. This analysis forms an essential basis for characterization of a fluorescently labeled enzyme intended for mechanistic studies. Finally, we show that the labeled enzyme can be used to identify single-nucleotide mutations in a procedure that could be automated.
