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-recognition rules for Zn fingers are discussed in terms of crystal structures. The rules can explain the DNA-binding characteristics of a number of Zn finger proteins for which there are no crystal structures. The rules have two parts: chemical rules, which list the possible pairings between the 4 DNA bases and the 20 amino acid residues, and stereochemical rules, which describe the specific base positions contacted by several amino acid positions in the Zn finger. It is discussed that to maintain the correct binding geometry, in which the N-terminus of the recognition helix is closer to the DNA than the C-terminus, the residues facing the DNA on the helix must be larger near the C-terminus, and that two different types of fingers (A and B) bind to DNA in distinctly different ways and cover different numbers of base pairs.
