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

The ubiquitous, multi-enzyme, nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway is responsible for correcting a wide range of chemically and structurally distinct DNA lesions in the eukaryotic genome. Human XPA, a 31 kDa, zinc-associated protein, is thought to play a major NER role in the recognition of damaged DNA and the recruitment of other proteins, including RPA, ERCC1, and TFIIH, to repair the damage. Sequence analyses and genetic evidence suggest that zinc is associated with a C4-type motif, C105-X2-C108-X17-C126-X2-C129, located in the minimal DNA binding region of XPA (M98-F219). The zinc-associated motif is essential for damaged DNA recognition. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra collected on the zinc associated minimal DNA-binding domain of XPA (ZnXPA-MBD) show directly, for the first time, that the zinc is coordinated to the sulfur atoms of four cysteine residues with an average Zn-S bond length of 2.34+/-0.01 A. XPA-MBD was also expressed in minimal medium supplemented with cobalt nitrate to yield a blue-colored protein that was primarily (>95%) cobalt associated (CoXPA-MBD). EXAFS spectra collected on CoXPA-MBD show that the cobalt is also coordinated to the sulfur atoms of four cysteine residues with an average Co-S bond length of 2.33+/-0.02 A.
