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 four-way (Holliday) DNA junction is a key intermediate in homologous recombination, a ubiquitous process that is important in DNA repair and generation of genetic diversity. The final stages of recombination require resolution of the junction into nicked-duplex species by the action of a junction-resolving enzyme. The enzymes involved are nucleases that are highly selective for the structure of branched DNA. Here we present the isolation, expression and purification of a novel T7 endonuclease from the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve (KBR), which possesses junction resolving capabilities. An initial approach was employed where the process was scaled up to 3 L with IPTG concentration of 0.1 mM at 30 °C and purified via immobilised metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Expression titres of 20 ± 0.003 µg.L
