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 soil bacterium Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus Rü61a contains the linear plasmid pAL1, which codes for the degradation of 2-methylquinoline. Like other linear replicons of actinomycetes, pAL1 is characterized by short terminal inverted-repeat sequences and terminal proteins (TPpAL1) covalently attached to its 5' ends. TPpAL1, encoded by the pAL1.102 gene, interacts in vivo with the protein encoded by pAL1.101. Bioinformatic analysis of the pAL1.101 protein, which comprises 1,707 amino acids, suggested putative zinc finger and topoisomerase-primase domains and part of a superfamily 2 helicase domain in its N-terminal and central regions, respectively. Sequence motifs characteristic of the polymerization domain of family B DNA polymerases are partially conserved in a C-terminal segment. The purified recombinant protein catalyzed the deoxycytidylation of TPpAL1 in the presence of single-stranded DNA templates comprising the 3'-terminal sequence (5'-GCAGG-3'), which in pAL1 forms the terminal inverted repeat, but also at templates with 5'-(G/T)CA(GG/GC/CG)-3' ends. Enzyme assays suggested that the protein exhibits DNA topoisomerase, DNA helicase, and DNA- and protein-primed DNA polymerase activities. The pAL1.101 protein, therefore, may act as a replicase of pAL1.
