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

Group I intron-encoded endonucleases represent a new class of double strand cutting endonucleases whose function is to initiate the homing of introns by generating double strand breaks in site-specific sequences. We have studied the mechanism of interaction of the I-SceI endonuclease with different DNA substrates derived from its natural site in the intron-less gene or from intron-exon junctions in the gene with an intron. We show that the enzyme recognizes its asymmetrical site with high affinity binding to the sequence corresponding to the downstream exon followed by binding to the upstream exon and catalysis of phosphodiester bond hydrolysis. Asymmetrical nicking activity is observed as an intermediate of the cleavage reaction. In the intron-containing gene, the enzyme recognizes the downstream intron-exon junction without any cleavage activity. This binding raises the possibility of a specific function of homing endonucleases in either gene expression or intron homing steps subsequent to DNA cleavage.
