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

PolC is one of two essential replicative DNA polymerases found in the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The B. subtilis replisome is eukaryotic-like in that it relies on a two DNA polymerase system for chromosomal replication. To quantitatively image how the replicative DNA polymerase PolC functions in B. subtilis, we applied photobleaching-assisted microscopy, three-dimensional superresolution imaging, and single-particle tracking to examine the in vivo behavior of PolC at single-molecule resolution. We report the stoichiometry of PolC proteins within each cell and within each replisome, we elucidate the diffusion characteristics of individual PolC molecules, and we quantify the exchange dynamics for PolC engaged in lagging strand synthesis. We show that PolC is highly dynamic: this DNA polymerase is constantly recruited to and released from a centrally located replisome, providing, to our knowledge, new insight into the organization and dynamics of the replisome in bacterial cells.
