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

Eukaryotic chromosomes are capped by telomeres, nucleoprotein complexes that prevent chromosome end-to-end fusions and control cell ageing. Two proteins in this complex, telomere repeat binding factors (TRF1 and TRF2), specifically recognise the double-stranded TTAGGG tandem repeat sequence. TRF1 is a homodimer with roles governing DNA architecture and negatively regulating telomere length. We explore the conformational space of this protein-DNA complex using molecular dynamics and, for the first time, generate a complete model of TRF1-DNA recognition that has not been possible on the basis of crystallographic and NMR data alone. The results reconcile previous conflicting experimental models for the sequence selectivity of the recognition process, by confirming many of the findings while identifying important new interactions and behaviour. This improved characterisation also reveals extensive indirect readout, which suggests that recognition will be affected by changes to DNA helical parameters such as bending.
