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

DNA ligases are essential enzymes in all living organisms and viruses. They play critical roles in genome maintenance and recombination by sealing single-strand nicks and repairing damaged DNA. Due to these features, DNA ligases are widely used in gene cloning applications and in vitro processing of DNA. In this study, the DNA ligase-encoding gene from Trabzonvirus AP-T65 was cloned and sequenced. AP-T65 DNA ligase (AhyAP-T65Lig) shared 51.81% sequence similarity with the DNA ligase of Aeromonas phage BUCT695, and 53.35% with that of Salmonella phage PKM.Hi.22.6. AhyAP-T65Lig was cloned into pET-28a(+) expression vector, overexpressed and purified. The ligation efficiency of AhyAP-T65Lig (41.1 kDa) was evaluated using ligation-mediated PCR and RT-PCR. AhyAP-T65Lig was active between 4 and 37 °C, with an optimum temperature of 4 °C and an optimum pH of 8.0. Maximum activity was observed in the presence of 1 mM ATP, 10 mM DTT, 10 mM MgCl
