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

Replication protein A (RPA) is an essential single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein that sequesters ssDNA and protects it from nucleolytic degradation. The RPA-ssDNA nucleoprotein acts as a hub to recruit over two dozen DNA metabolic enzymes onto ssDNA to coordinate DNA replication, repair, and recombination. RPA functions as a heterotrimer composed of RPA70, RPA32, and RPA14 subunits and has multiple DNA-binding and protein-interaction domains. Several of these domains are connected by disordered linkers allowing RPA to adopt a wide variety of conformations on ssDNA. Here we describe a fluorescence-based tool to monitor the dynamics of select DNA-binding domains of RPA. Noncanonical amino acids are utilized to site-specifically engineer fluorescent probes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae RPA heterologously expressed in BL21 (DE3) and its derivatives. A procedure to synthesize 4-azido-L-phenylalanine (4AZP), a noncanonical amino acid, is also described. Sites for fluorophore positioning that produce a measurable change in fluorescence upon binding to ssDNA are detailed. This fluorescence enhancement through noncanonical amino acid (FEncAA) approach can also be applied to other DNA-binding proteins to investigate the dynamics of protein-nucleic acid interactions.
