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 replisome is a multiprotein machine responsible for the faithful replication of chromosomal and plasmid DNA. Using single-molecule super-resolution imaging, we characterized the dynamics of three replisomal proteins in live Bacillus subtilis cells: the two replicative DNA polymerases, PolC and DnaE, and a processivity clamp loader subunit, DnaX. We quantified the protein mobility and dwell times during normal replication and following replication fork stress using damage-independent and damage-dependent conditions. With these results, we report the dynamic and cooperative process of DNA replication based on changes in the measured diffusion coefficients and dwell times. These experiments show that the replication proteins are all highly dynamic and that the exchange rate depends on whether DNA synthesis is active or arrested. Our results also suggest coupling between PolC and DnaX in the DNA replication process and indicate that DnaX provides an important role in synthesis during repair. Furthermore, our results suggest that DnaE provides a limited contribution to chromosomal replication and repair in vivo.
