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

Protein-DNA binding interactions play critical roles in important cellular processes such as gene expression, cell division, and chromosomal organization. Techniques to identify and characterize these interactions often utilize formaldehyde cross-linking for stabilization of the complexes. Advantages of formaldehyde as a cross-linking reagent include cell permeability, relatively fast cross-linking kinetics, and short cross-linker length. In addition, formaldehyde cross-links are reversible, which has the advantage of allowing complexes to be dissociated if desired but may also present a problem if undesired dissociation occurs in the course of an experiment. While the kinetics of formaldehyde cross-link formation have been well-established in numerous studies, there have been no reports of the rate of cross-link dissociation, even though it is clearly a critical variable when developing a biochemical protocol involving formaldehyde cross-linking. We present here a method for measurement of the rate of formaldehyde cross-link reversal based upon the Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements (FAIRE) procedure and use it to determine the rate of cross-link reversal for cross-linked protein-DNA complexes from yeast cell lysate. The half-life of the protein-DNA cross-links varies from 179 h at 4 °C to 11.3 h at 47 °C, with a rate that increases exponentially with temperature and is independent of salt concentration.
