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

RAD51, the eukaryote homolog of the Escherichia coli recA recombinase, participates in homologous recombination during mitosis, meiosis, and in the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. The Tetrahymena thermophila RAD51 gene was recently cloned, and the in vitro activities and induction of Rad51p following DNA damage were shown to be similar to that of RAD51 from other species. This study describes the pattern of Tetrahymena RAD51 expression during both the cell cycle and conjugation. Tetrahymena RAD51 mRNA abundance is elevated during macronuclear S phase during vegetative cell growth and with both meiotic prophase and new macronuclear development during conjugation. Gene disruption of the macronuclear RAD51 locus leads to severe abnormalities during both vegetative growth and conjugation. rad51 nulls divide slowly and incur rapid deterioration of their micronuclear chromosomes. Conjugation of two rad51 nulls leads to an arrest early during prezygotic development (meiosis I). We discuss the potential usefulness of the ciliates' characteristic nuclear duality for further analyses of the potentially unique roles of Tetrahymena RAD51.
