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

The fidelity of DNA replication is a critical factor in the rate at which cells incur mutations. Due to the antiparallel orientation of the two chromosomal DNA strands, one strand (leading strand) is replicated in a mostly processive manner, while the other (lagging strand) is synthesized in short sections called Okazaki fragments. A fundamental question that remains to be answered is whether the two strands are copied with the same intrinsic fidelity. In most experimental systems, this question is difficult to answer, as the replication complex contains a different DNA polymerase for each strand, such as, for example, DNA polymerases δ and ε in eukaryotes. Here we have investigated this question in the bacterium
