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

FEN-1 proteins are a family of nucleases essential for lagging strand DNA synthesis. A gene with sequence similarity to FEN-1 protein-encoding genes, rad2 +, has been identified in Schizosaccharomyces pombe . We report the overexpression, purification, and character-ization of the putative S.pombe FEN-1 homolog, Rad2p. A GST-Rad2p fusion protein was over-expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and purified to near homogeneity by GST affinity chromatography. Although Rad2p had been previously classified as a putative FEN-1 protein based on amino acid homology, there has been no biochemical evidence demonstrating flap endonuclease activity. DNA cleavage analysis of several different oligodeoxynucleotide structuresindicates that GST-Rad2p possesses both 5'-flap endonuclease and 5'-->3' double-stranded DNA exo-nuclease activities. GST-Rad2p incises a 5'-flap and a 5'-pseudo-Y structure one base 3' of the branch point in the duplex region and also degrades double-stranded DNA. This is the first report on the biochemical characterization of S.pombe Rad2p. The potential roles of Rad2p in DNA excision repair and other nucleic acid reactions are discussed.
