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 XP-D/DinG family of DNA helicases contributes to genomic stability in all three domains of life. Here, we investigate the role of one of these proteins, YoaA, of Escherichia coli. In E. coli, YoaA aids in tolerance to the nucleoside azidothymidine (AZT), a DNA replication inhibitor, and physically interacts with a subunit of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, HolC. We map the residues of YoaA required for HolC interaction to its C terminus by yeast two-hybrid analysis. We propose that this interaction competes with HolC's interaction with HolD and the rest of the replisome; YoaA indeed inhibits growth when overexpressed, dependent on this interaction region. By gene fusions, we show that YoaA is repressed by LexA and induced in response to DNA damage as part of the SOS response. Induction of YoaA by AZT is biphasic, with an immediate response after treatment and a slower response that peaks in the late log phase of growth. This growth-phase-dependent induction by AZT is not blocked by
