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

Biolayer interferometry (BLI) is a widely utilized technique for determining macromolecular interaction dynamics in real time. Using changes in the interference pattern of white light reflected off a biosensor tip, BLI can determine binding parameters for protein-protein (e.g., antibody-substrate kinetics) or protein-small molecule (e.g., drug discovery) interactions. However, a less-appreciated application for BLI analysis is DNA-protein interactions. DNA-binding proteins play an immense role in cellular biology, controlling critical processes including transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair. Understanding how proteins interact with DNA often provides important insight into their biological function, and novel technologies to assay DNA-protein interactions are of broad interest. Currently, a detailed protocol utilizing BLI for DNA-protein interactions is lacking. In the following protocol, we describe the use of BLI and biotinylated-DNA probes to determine the binding kinetics of a transcription factor to a specific DNA sequence. The experimental steps include the generation of biotinylated-DNA probes, the execution of the BLI experiment, and data analysis by scientific graphing and statistical software (e.g., GraphPad Prism). Although the example experiment used throughout this protocol involves a prokaryotic transcription factor, this technique can be easily translated to any DNA-binding protein. Pitfalls and potential solutions for investigating DNA-binding proteins by BLI are also presented.
