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 initiation step is a key process to regulate the frequency of DNA replication. Although recent studies in Archaea defined the origin of DNA replication (oriC) and the Cdc6/Orc1 homolog as an origin recognition protein, the location and mechanism of duplex opening have remained unclear. We have found that Cdc6/Orc1 binds to oriC and unwinds duplex DNA in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus, by means of a P1 endonuclease assay. A primer extension analysis further revealed that this localized unwinding occurs in the oriC region at a specific site, which is 12-bp long and rich in adenine and thymine. This site is different from the predicted duplex unwinding element (DUE) that we reported previously. We also discovered that Cdc6/Orc1 induces topological changes in supercoiled oriC DNA, and that this process is dependent on the AAA+ domain. These results indicate that topological alterations of oriC DNA by Cdc6/Orc1 introduce a single-stranded region at the 12-mer site, that could possibly serve as an entry point for Mcm helicase.
