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

Serine resolvases are an interesting group of site-specific recombinases that, in their native contexts, resolve large fused replicons into smaller separated ones. Some resolvases are encoded by replicative transposons and resolve the transposition product, in which the donor and recipient molecules are fused, into separate replicons. Other resolvases are encoded by plasmids and function to resolve plasmid dimers into monomers. Both types are therefore involved in the spread and maintenance of antibiotic-resistance genes. Resolvases and the closely related invertases were the first serine recombinases to be studied in detail, and much of our understanding of the unusual strand exchange mechanism of serine recombinases is owed to those early studies. Resolvases and invertases have also served as paradigms for understanding how DNA topology can be harnessed to regulate enzyme activity. Finally, their relatively modular structure, combined with a wealth of structural and biochemical data, has made them good choices for engineering chimeric recombinases with designer specificity. This chapter focuses on the current understanding of serine resolvases, with a focus on the contributions of structural studies.
