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

An 8.1-kb fragment of the temperate Myxococcus xanthus phage Mx8 genome, when cloned into a plasmid vector, permits site-specific integration of the plasmid and confers superinfection immunity. Sequence analysis of a 9.5-kb region of Mx8 DNA containing this fragment reveals 19 densely packed open reading frames, four of which have predicted products with known or suspected activities. The Mx8 imm gene, required for superinfection immunity, has a sequence similar to that of Arabidopsis thaliana G-box-binding factor 1. Mx8 makes a DNA adenine methylase, Mox, and integrase, Int, related to other methylases and integrases. The int gene has two alternate translation initiation codons within the extensively overlapping uoi (upstream of int) gene. Comparison of the predicted product of the uoi gene with Salmonella phage P22 and Streptomyces plasmid Xis proteins shows that temperate phage excisionases may use variations of a helix-turn-helix motif to recognize specific DNA sequences.
