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 initial steps of double-stranded break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination mediated by the 5'-3' exonuclease/annealing protein pairs, RecE/RecT and Redalpha/Redbeta, were analyzed. Recombination was RecA-independent and required the expression of both components of an orthologous pair, even when the need for exonuclease activity was removed by use of preresected substrates. The required orthologous function correlated with a specific protein-protein interaction, and recombination was favored by overexpression of the annealing protein with respect to the exonuclease. The need for both components of an orthologous pair was observed regardless of whether recombination proceeded via a single-strand annealing or a putative strand invasion mechanism. The DSB repair reactions studied here are reminiscent of the RecBCD/RecA reaction and suggest a general mechanism that is likely to be relevant to other systems, including RAD52 mediated recombination.
