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

Mesoscale molecular modeling is providing a new window into the inner workings of living cells. Modeling of genomes, however, remains a technical challenge, due to their large size and complexity. We describe a lattice method for rapid generation of bacterial nucleoid models that integrates experimental data from a variety of biophysical techniques and provides a starting point for simulation and hypothesis generation. The current method builds models of a circular bacterial genome with supercoiled plectonemes, packed within the small space of the bacterial cell. Lattice models are generated for Mycoplasma genitalium and Escherichia coli nucleoids, and used to simulate interaction data. The method is rapid enough to allow generation of multiple models when analyzing structure/function relationships, and we demonstrate use of the lattice models in creation of an all-atom representation of an entire cell.
