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

Budding yeast Dmc1 is a member of the RecA family of strand exchange proteins essential for homologous recombination (HR) during meiosis. Dmc1 mediates the steps of homology search and DNA strand exchange reactions that are central to HR. To achieve optimum activity, Dmc1 requires a number of accessory factors. Although methods for purification of Dmc1 and many of its associated factors have been described (Binz, Dickson, Haring, & Wold, 2006; Busygina et al., 2013; Chan, Brown, Qin, Handa, & Bishop, 2014; Chi et al., 2006; Cloud, Chan, Grubb, Budke, & Bishop, 2012; Nimonkar, Amitani, Baskin, & Kowalczykowski, 2007; Van Komen, Macris, Sehorn, & Sung, 2006), Dmc1 has been particularly difficult to purify because of its tendency to aggregate. Here, we provide an alternative and simple high-yield purification method for recombinant Dmc1 that is active and responsive to stimulation by accessory factors. The same method may be used for purification of recombinant Rdh54 (a.k.a. Tid1) and other HR proteins with minor adjustments. We also describe an economical and sensitive D-loop assay for strand exchange proteins that uses fluorescent dye-tagged, rather than radioactive, ssDNA substrates.
