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

We have purified a DNA helicase (dhel l) from early Drosophila embryos. dhel l co-purifies with the single-stranded DNA binding protein dRP-A over two purification steps, however, the proteins can be separated by their different native molecular weight, with dhel l activity co-sedimenting with a polypeptide of approximately 200 kDa and a sedimentation coefficient of 8.6 S. The enzyme needs ATP hydrolysis and divalent cations for displacement activity. It is very salt sensitive, having a Mg2+ optimum of 0.5 mM and being inhibited by NaCl concentration > 10 mM. Dhel l moves 5'-->3' on the DNA strand to which it is bound. Unwinding activity decreases with increasing length of the double-stranded region suggesting a distributive mode of action. However, addition of dRP-A to the displacement reaction stimulates the activity on substrates with >300 nucleotides double-stranded region suggesting a specific interaction between these two proteins.
