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

Unlike other C6 zinc cluster proteins such as GAL4 and PPR1, HAP1 binds selectively to asymmetric DNA sites containing a direct repeat of two CGG triplets. Here, we show that the HAP1 zinc cluster is solely responsible for asymmetric binding by HAP1. An asymmetric interaction between two zinc clusters of a HAP1 dimer must position the zinc clusters in a directly repeated orientation, and enable them to recognize two CGG triplets in a direct repeat. Further, our data suggest that this asymmetric interaction acts cooperatively with the interaction between dimerization elements to promote HAP1 dimerization, and locks HAP1-DNA complexes in a stable, dimeric conformation.
