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

Divalent metal ions are essential components of DNA polymerases both for catalysis of the nucleotidyl transfer reaction and for base excision. They occupy two sites, A and B, for DNA synthesis. Recently, a third metal ion was shown to be essential for phosphoryl transfer reaction. The metal ion in the A site is coordinated by the carboxylate of two highly conserved acidic residues, water molecules, and the 3'-hydroxyl group of the primer so that the A metal is in an octahedral complex. Its catalytic function is to lower the pK
