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

unlabelledThe alpha subunit of Mycobacterial DNA polymerase III holo enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of both DNA strands. The present investigation reports three dimensional (3-D) structure model of DNA polymerase III α subunit of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MtbDnaE1) generated using homology modeling with the backbone structure of DNA polymerase III α of Thermus aquaticus as a template. The model was evaluated at various structure verification servers, which assess the stereo chemical parameters of the residues in the model, as well as structural and functional domains. Comparative analysis of MtbDnaE1 structure reveals the structure of its catalytic domain to be unrelated to that of the human. Successful docking of known inhibitor of bacterial DNA polymerases, 251D onto the modeled MtbDnaE1 was also performed. Therefore, the structure model of MtbDnaE1, a potential anti-mycobacterial target, opens a new avenue for structure-based drug designing against the pathogen. ABBREVIATIONS: aa - amino acid(s), PolIIIα - DNA polymerase III alpha subunit, Taq Pol IIIα - Pol IIIα of Thermus aquaticus, MtbDnaE1 - PolIIIα of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
