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

We have biochemically and kinetically characterized the polymerase and exonuclease activities of the third B-family polymerase (Dpo3) from the hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeon, Sulfolobus solfataricus (Sso). We have established through mutagenesis that despite incomplete sequence conservation, the polymerase and exonuclease active sites are functionally conserved in Dpo3. Using pre-steady-state kinetics, we can measure the fidelity of nucleotide incorporation by Dpo3 from the polymerase active site alone to be 10(3)-10(4) at 37 °C. The functional exonuclease proofreading active site will increase fidelity by at least 10(2), making Dpo3 comparable to other DNA polymerases in this family. Additionally, Dpo3's exonuclease activity is modulated by temperature, where a loss of promiscuous degradation activity can be attributed to a reorganization of the exonuclease domain when it is bound to primer-template DNA at high temperatures. Unexpectedly, the DNA binding affinity is weak compared with those of other DNA polymerases of this family. A comparison of the fidelity, polymerization kinetics, and associated functional exonuclease domain with those previously reported for other Sso polymerases (Dpo1 and Dpo4) illustrates that Dpo3 is a potential player in the proper maintenance of the archaeal genome.
