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

To investigate the conformational dynamics of human DNA polymerase κ (hpol κ), we generated two mutants, Y50W (N-clasp region) and Y408W (linker between the thumb and little finger domains), using a Trp-null mutant (W214Y/W392H) of the hpol κ catalytic core enzyme. These mutants retained catalytic activity and similar patterns of selectivity for bypassing the DNA adduct 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine, as indicated by the results of steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetic experiments. Stopped-flow kinetic assays with hpol κ Y50W and T408W revealed a decrease in Trp fluorescence with the template G:dCTP pair but not for any mispairs. This decrease in fluorescence was not rate-limiting and is considered to be related to a conformational change necessary for correct nucleotidyl transfer. When a free 3'-hydroxyl was present on the primer, the Trp fluorescence returned to the baseline level at a rate similar to the observed kcat , suggesting that this change occurs during or after nucleotidyl transfer. However, polymerization rates (kpol ) of extended-product formation were fast, indicating that the slow fluorescence step follows phosphodiester bond formation and is rate-limiting. Pyrophosphate formation and release were fast and are likely to precede the slower relaxation step. The available kinetic data were used to fit a simplified minimal model. The extracted rate constants confirmed that the conformational change after phosphodiester bond formation was rate-limiting for hpol κ catalysis with the template G:dCTP pair.
