Mapping of the nick site on conjugative plasmid pVT745 by interrupted mating.
Article in Plasmid, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Conjugal transfer of plasmid DNA initiates and terminates at a specific non-coding site called the origin of transfer (oriT). Previous analysis of conjugative plasmid pVT745 from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans suggested that oriT was located adjacent to the operon responsible for initiation of ssDNA transfer. The location of oriT was confirmed by assaying both subclones of the region as well as a pVT745 deletion derivative for mobilization. The precise DNA nick site (nic) and polarity of DNA transfer were identified by use of interrupted mating assays, a technique originally used for the mapping of bacterial chromosomes. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the pVT745-specific nick region was similar to the consensus nick sequence of the IncP family albeit the actual cleavage site differed. Functionality of nic was confirmed by point mutations.
