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

Direct observation studies of single molecules have revealed molecular behaviors usually hidden in the ensemble and time-averaging of bulk experiments. Direct single DNA molecule analysis of DNA metabolism reactions such as DNA replication, repair, and recombination is necessary to fully understand these essential processes. Intercalation of fluorescent dyes such as YOYO-1 and SYTOX Orange has been the standard method for observing single molecules of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), but effective fluorescent dyes for observing single molecules of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) have not been found. To facilitate direct single-molecule observations of DNA metabolism reactions, it is necessary to establish methods for discriminating ssDNA and dsDNA. To observe ssDNA directly, we prepared a fusion protein consisting of the 70 kDa DNA-binding domain of replication protein A and enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (RPA-YFP). This fusion protein had ssDNA-binding activity. In our experiments, dsDNA was stained by SYTOX Orange and ssDNA by RPA-YFP, and we succeeded in staining ssDNA and dsDNA by using RPA-YFP and SYTOX Orange simultaneously.
