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

Two key elements that are thought to be required for replication initiation in eubacteria are the DnaA protein, a trans-acting factor, and the replication origin, a cis-acting element. As a first step in studying the replication initiation process in mycobacteria, we have isolated a 4-kb chromosomal DNA fragment from Mycobacterium smegmatis that contains the dnaA gene. Nucleotide sequence analysis of this region revealed homologies with the rpmH gene, which codes for the ribosomal protein L34, the dnaA gene, which codes for the replication initiator protein DnaA, and the 5' end of the dnaN gene, which codes for the beta subunit of DNA polymerase III. Further, we provide evidence that when cloned into pUC18, a plasmid that is nonreplicative in M. smegmatis, the DNA fragment containing the dnaA gene and its flanking regions rendered the former capable of autonomous replication in M. smegmatis. We suggest that the M. smegmatis chromosomal origin of replication is located within the 4-kb DNA fragment.
