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 Tof1-Csm3 fork protection complex has a central role in the replisome-it promotes the progression of DNA replication forks and protects them when they stall, while also enabling cohesion establishment and checkpoint responses. Here, I present the crystal structure of the Tof1-Csm3 complex from Chaetomium thermophilum at 3.1 Å resolution. The structure reveals that both proteins together form an extended alpha helical repeat structure, which suggests a mechanical or scaffolding role for the complex. Expanding on this idea, I characterize a DNA interacting region and a cancer-associated Mrc1 binding site. This study provides the molecular basis for understanding the functions of the Tof1-Csm3 complex, its human orthologue the Timeless-Tipin complex and additionally the Drosophila circadian rhythm protein Timeless.
