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

Direct imaging with the atomic force microscope has been used to identify specific nucleotide sequences in plasmid DNA molecules. This was accomplished using EcoRI (Gln-111), a mutant of the restriction enzyme that has a 1000-fold greater binding affinity than the wild-type enzyme but with cleavage rate constants reduced by a factor of 10(4). ScaI-linearized plasmids with single (pBS+) and double (pGEM-luc and pSV-beta-galactosidase) EcoRI recognition sites were imaged, and the bound enzyme was localized to a 50- to 100-nt resolution. The high affinity for the EcoRI binding site exhibited by this mutant endonuclease, coupled with an observed low level of nonspecific binding, should prove valuable for physically mapping large DNA clones by direct atomic force microscope imaging.
