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 replication is essential to cellular proliferation. The cellular-scale organization of the replication machinery (replisome) and the replicating chromosome has remained controversial. Two competing models describe the replication process: In the track model, the replisomes translocate along the DNA like a train on a track. Alternately, in the factory model, the replisomes form a stationary complex through which the DNA is pulled. We summarize the evidence for each model and discuss a number of confounding aspects that complicate interpretation of the observations. We advocate a factory-like model for bacterial replication where the replisomes form a relatively stationary and weakly associated complex that can transiently separate.
