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

Helicases are crucial participants in many types of DNA repair reactions, including homologous recombination. The properties of these enzymes can be assayed by traditional bulk biochemical analysis; however, these types of assays cannot directly access some types of information. In particular, bulk biochemical assays cannot readily access information that may be obscured in population averages. Single-molecule assays offer the potential advantage of being able to visualize the molecules in question in real time, thus providing direct access to questions relating to translocation velocity, processivity, and insights into how helicases may behave on different types of substrates. Here, we describe the use of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) curtains as an assay for directly viewing the behavior of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Srs2 helicase on single molecules of ssDNA. When used with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, these methods can be used to track the binding and movements of individual helicase complexes, and allow new insights into helicase behaviors at the single-molecule level.
