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

Most current evidence indicates that DNA polymerases ε and δ, respectively, perform the bulk of leading and lagging strand replication of the eukaryotic nuclear genome. Given that ribonucleotide and mismatch incorporation rates by these replicases influence somatic and germline patterns of variation, it is important to understand the details and exceptions to this overall division of labor. Using an improved method to map where these replicases incorporate ribonucleotides during replication, here we present evidence that DNA polymerase δ universally participates in initiating leading strand synthesis and that nascent leading strand synthesis switches from Pol ε to Pol δ during replication termination. Ribonucleotide maps from both the budding and fission yeast reveal conservation of these processes. These observations of replisome dynamics provide important insight into the mechanisms of eukaryotic replication and genome maintenance.
