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

Replication licensing factor (RLF) is involved in preventing re-replication of chromosomal DNA in a single cell cycle, and previously has been separated into two components termed RLF-M and RLF-B. Here we show that Xenopus RLF-M consists of all six members of the MCM/P1 protein family, XMcm2-XMcm7. The six MCM/P1 polypeptides co-eluted on glycerol gradients and gel filtration as complexes with a mol. wt of approximately 400 kDa. In crude Xenopus extract, all six MCM/P1 polypeptides co-precipitated with anti-XMcm3 antibody, although only XMcm5 quantitatively co-precipitated from purified RLF-M. Further fractionation separated RLF-M into two sub-components, one consisting of XMcms 3 and 5, the other consisting of XMcms 2, 4, 6 and 7. Neither of the sub-components provided RLF-M activity. Finally, we show that all six MCM/P1 proteins bind synchronously to chromatin before the onset of S-phase and are displaced as S-phase proceeds. These results strongly suggest that complexes containing all six MCM/P1 proteins are necessary for replication licensing.
