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

With the publication of the first paper describing the biochemical properties of DNA polymerase iota (polɩ), the question immediately arose as to why cells harbor such a low-fidelity enzyme which often violates the Watson-Crick base pairing rules? Yet 20 years after its discovery, the cellular function of polɩ remains unknown. Here, we provide a graphical review of the unique biochemical properties of polɩ and speculate about the cellular pathways in which enigmatic polɩ may participate.
