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

Bacterial replicases are complex, tripartite replicative machines. They contain a polymerase, Pol III, a β(2) processivity factor and a DnaX complex ATPase that loads β(2) onto DNA and chaperones Pol III onto the newly loaded β(2). Many bacteria encode both a full length τ and a shorter γ form of DnaX by a variety of mechanisms. The polymerase catalytic subunit of Pol III, α, contains a PHP domain that not only binds to prototypical ɛ Mg(2+)-dependent exonuclease, but also contains a second Zn(2+)-dependent proofreading exonuclease, at least in some bacteria. Replication of the chromosomes of low GC Gram-positive bacteria require two Pol IIIs, one of which, DnaE, appears to extend RNA primers a only short distance before handing the product off to the major replicase, PolC. Other bacteria encode a second Pol III (ImuC) that apparently replaces Pol V, required for induced mutagenesis in E. coli. Approaches that permit simultaneous biochemical screening of all components of complex bacterial replicases promise inhibitors of specific protein targets and reaction stages.
