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

DNA polymerases and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) represent large enzyme families with critical roles in the transformation of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. DNA polymerases carry out replication and collaborate in the repair of the genome, while ARSs provide aminoacylated tRNA precursors for protein synthesis. Enzymes of both families face the common challenge of selecting their cognate small molecule substrates from a pool of chemically related molecules, achieving high levels of discrimination with the assistance of proofreading mechanisms. Here, the fidelity preservation mechanisms in these two important systems are reviewed and similar features highlighted. Among the noteworthy features common to both DNA polymerases and ARSs are the use of multidomain architectures that segregate synthetic and proofreading functions into discrete domains; the use of induced fit to enhance binding selectivity; the imposition of fidelity at the level of chemistry; and the use of postchemistry error correction mechanisms to hydrolyze incorrect products in a discrete editing domain. These latter mechanisms further share the common property that error correction involves the translocation of misincorporated products from the synthetic to the editing site and that the accuracy of the process may be influenced by the rates of translocation in either direction. Fidelity control in both families can thus be said to rely on multiple elementary steps, each with its contribution to overall fidelity. The summed contribution of these kinetic checkpoints provides the high observed overall accuracy of DNA replication and aminoacylation.
