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

DNA-binding proteins trigger various cellular functions and determine cellular fate. Before performing functions such as transcription, DNA repair, and DNA recombination, DNA-binding proteins need to search for and bind to their target sites in genomic DNA. Under evolutionary pressure, DNA-binding proteins have gained accurate and rapid target search and binding strategies that combine three-dimensional search in solution, one-dimensional sliding along DNA, hopping and jumping on DNA, and intersegmental transfer between two DNA molecules. These mechanisms can be achieved by the unique structural and dynamic properties of these proteins. Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations have characterized the molecular actions of DNA-binding proteins in detail. Furthermore, these methodologies have begun to characterize liquid condensates induced by liquid-liquid phase separation, e.g., molecular principles of uptake and dynamics in droplets. This review discusses the molecular action of DNA-binding proteins on DNA and in liquid condensate based on the latest studies that mainly focused on the model protein p53.
