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

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is an excellent tool to measure the chemical rate constants of fluorescently labeled proteins in living cells. Usually FRAP experiments are conducted with the protein concentrations being in a steady state, i.e., when the association and dissociation of the proteins are equilibrated. This is a strong limitation because situations in which rate constants change with time are of great scientific interest. In this study, we present an approach in which FRAP is used shortly after DNA damage introducing laser microirradiation, which results in the recruitment of the DNA clamp protein proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) to DNA lesions. We establish different kinetic models that are compatible with the observed PCNA recruitment data if FRAP is not used. By using FRAP at different time points during protein accumulation, we can not only exclude two out of three models, but we can also determine the rate constants with increased reliability. This study thus demonstrates the feasibility of using FRAP during protein recruitment and its application in the discrimination of possible kinetic models.
