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

DNA methyltransferase-1 (DNMT1) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of genomic methylation patterns. The crystal structure of DNMT1 was determined in two different states in which the helix that follows the catalytic loop was either kinked (designated helix-kinked) or well folded (designated helix-straight state). Here, we show that the proper structural transition between these two states is required for DNMT1 activity. The mutations of N1248A and R1279D, which did not affect interactions between DNMT1 and substrates or cofactors, allosterically reduced enzymatic activities in vitro by decreasing k
