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

Vancomycin or erythromycin resistance and the stability determinants, δω and ωεζ, of Enterococci and Streptococci plasmids are genetically linked. To unravel the mechanisms that promoted the stable persistence of resistance determinants, the early stages of Streptococcus pyogenes pSM19035 partitioning were biochemically dissected. First, the homodimeric centromere-binding protein, ω2, bound parS DNA to form a short-lived partition complex 1 (PC1). The interaction of PC1 with homodimeric δ [δ2 even in the apo form (Apo-δ2)], significantly stimulated the formation of a long-lived ω2·parS complex (PC2) without spreading into neighbouring DNA sequences. In the ATP·Mg2+ bound form, δ2 bound DNA, without sequence specificity, to form a transient dynamic complex (DC). Second, parS bound ω2 interacted with and promoted δ2 redistribution to co-localize with the PC2, leading to transient segrosome complex (SC, parS·ω2·δ2) formation. Third, δ2, in the SC, interacted with a second SC and promoted formation of a bridging complex (BC). Finally, increasing ω2 concentrations stimulated the ATPase activity of δ2 and the BC was disassembled. We propose that PC, DC, SC and BC formation were dynamic processes and that the molar ω2:δ2 ratio and parS DNA control their temporal and spatial assembly during partition of pSM19035 before cell division.
