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

Dna2 endonuclease/helicase participates in eukaryotic DNA transactions including cleavage of long flaps generated during Okazaki fragment processing. Its unusual substrate interaction consists of recognition and binding of the flap base, then threading over the 5'-end of the flap, and cleaving periodically to produce a terminal product ∼5 nt in length. Blocking the 5'-end prevents cleavage. The Dna2 ATP-driven 5' to 3' DNA helicase function promotes motion of Dna2 on the flap, presumably aiding its nuclease function. Here we demonstrate using two different nuclease-dead Dna2 mutants that on substrates simulating Okazaki fragments, Dna2 must thread onto an unblocked 5' flap to display helicase activity. This requirement is maintained on substrates with single-stranded regions thousands of nucleotides in length. To our knowledge this is the first description of a eukaryotic helicase that cannot load onto its tracking strand internally but instead must enter from the end. Biologically, the loading requirement likely helps the helicase to coordinate with the Dna2 nuclease function to prevent creation of undesirably long flaps during DNA transactions.
