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

To perform their functions, transcription factors and DNA-repair/modifying enzymes randomly search DNA in order to locate their specific targets on DNA. Discrete-state stochastic kinetic models have been developed to explain how the efficiency of the search process is influenced by the molecular properties of proteins and DNA as well as by other factors such as molecular crowding. These theoretical models not only offer explanations on the relation of microscopic processes to macroscopic behavior of proteins, but also facilitate the analysis and interpretation of experimental data. In this review article, we provide an overview on discrete-state stochastic kinetic models and explain how these models can be applied to experimental investigations using stopped-flow, single-molecule, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and other biophysical and biochemical methods.
