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

Gel retardation assays using a probe containing the repeat region of a Schizosaccharomyces pombe chromosomal telomere identified four specific DNA- protein complexes in S. pombe total protein extracts (I, I', IIa and IIb). The proteins responsible for these complexes bound to the telomeric repeat region irrespective of whether or not the repeats were in close proximity to the end of a DNA molecule, and none of them bound strongly to single-stranded DNA. The protein responsible for complex I (TeRF I) was separated from the activity responsible for complexes IIa and IIb (TeRF II) using heparin-Sepharose chromatography. Both factors were efficiently cross-competed by an oligonucleotide containing the 18 bp sequence 5'-GGTTACAGGTTACAGGTT-3', which corresponds to two complete telomeric repeat units. Mutation of the T residues at positions 4 and 11 in the oligonucleotide dramatically reduced binding by TeRF II, but had no affect on binding by TeRF I. The protein responsible for complex I' did not bind strongly to either the wild-type or mutant oligonucleotide.
