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

Translesion synthesis is the process by which nonclassical DNA polymerases bypass DNA damage during DNA replication. Cells possess a variety of nonclassical polymerases, each one is specific for incorporating nucleotides opposite to one or more closely related DNA lesions, called its cognate lesions. In this chapter, we discuss a variety of approaches for probing the catalytic activities and the protein-protein interactions of nonclassical polymerases. With respect to their catalytic activities, we discuss polymerase assays, steady-state kinetics, and presteady-state kinetics. With respect to their interactions, we discuss qualitative binding assays such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and coimmunoprecipitation; quantitative binding assays such as isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; and single-molecule binding assays such as total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. We focus on how nonclassical polymerases accommodate their cognate lesions during nucleotide incorporation and how the most appropriate nonclassical polymerase is selected for bypassing a given lesion.
