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

We have studied DNA minicircles containing the ATF/CREB binding site for GCN4 by using a combination of cyclization kinetics experiments and Monte Carlo simulations. Cyclization rates were determined with and without GCN4 for DNA constructs containing the ATF/CREB site separated from a phased A-tract multimer bend by a variable length phasing adaptor. The cyclization results show that GCN4 binding does not significantly change the conformation of the ATF/CREB site, which is intrinsically slightly bent toward the major groove. Monte Carlo simulations quantitate the ATF/CREB site structure as an 8 degrees bend toward the major groove in a coordinate frame near the center of the site. The ATF/CREB site is underwound by 53 degrees relative to the related AP-1 site DNA. The effect of GCN4 binding can be modeled either as a decrease in the local flexibility, corresponding to an estimated 60% increase in the persistence length for the 10-bp binding site, or possibly as a small decrease (1 degrees) in intrinsic bend angle. Our results agree with recent electrophoretic and crystallographic studies and demonstrate that cyclization and simulation can characterize subtle changes in DNA structure and flexibility.
