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 gene regulatory mechanism determining the developmental pathway of the temperate bacteriophage TP901-1 is regulated by two phage-encoded proteins, CI and MOR. Functional domains of the CI repressor were investigated by introducing linkers of 15 bp at various positions in cI and by limited proteolysis of purified CI protein. We show that insertions of five amino acids at positions in the N-terminal half of CI resulted in mutant proteins that could no longer repress transcription from the lytic promoter, P(L). We confirmed that the N-terminal domain of CI contains the DNA binding site, and we showed that this part of the protein is tightly folded, whereas the central part and the C-terminal part of CI seem to contain more flexible structures. Furthermore, insertions at several different positions in the central part of the CI protein reduced the cooperative binding of CI to the operator sites and possibly altered the interaction with MOR.
