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

Genome packaging is a critical step in the assembly of dsDNA bacteriophages and is carried out by a powerful molecular motor known as the large terminase. To date, wild-type structures of only two large terminase proteins are available, and more structural information is needed to understand the genome-packaging mechanism. Towards this goal, the large and small terminase proteins from bacteriophage N4, which infects the Escherichia coli K12 strain, have been cloned, expressed and purified. The purified putative large terminase protein hydrolyzes ATP, and this is enhanced in the presence of the small terminase. The large terminase protein was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method and the crystal diffracted to 2.8 Å resolution using a home X-ray source. Analysis of the X-ray diffraction data showed that the crystal belonged to space group P2
