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

In vertebrate V(D)J recombination, it remains unclear how the RAG complex coordinates its catalytic steps with binding to two distant recombination sites. Here, we test the ability of the plausible reaction schemes to fit observed time courses for RAG nicking and DNA hairpin formation. The reaction schemes with the best fitting capability (1) strongly favor a RAG tetrameric complex over a RAG octameric complex; (2) indicate that once a RAG complex brings two recombination signal sequence (RSS) sites into synapsis, the synaptic complex rarely disassembles; (3) predict that the binding of both RSS sites (synapsis) occurs before catalysis (nicking); and (4) show that the RAG binding properties permit strong distinction between RSS sites within active chromatin versus nonspecific DNA or RSS sites within inactive chromatin. The results provide general insights for synapsis by nuclear proteins as well as more specific testable predictions for the RAG proteins.
