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

Ultraviolet radiation induces DNA damage products, largely in the form of pyrimidine dimers, that are both toxic and mutagenic. In most organisms, including Arabidopsis, these lesions are repaired both through a dimer-specific photoreactivation mechanism and through a less efficient light-independent mechanism. Several mutants defective in this "dark repair" pathway have been previously described. The mechanism of this repair has not been elucidated, but is thought to be homologous to the nucleotide excision repair mechanisms found in other eukaryotes. Here we report the complementation of the Arabidopsis uvh1 dark repair mutant with the Arabidopsis homolog of the yeast nucleotide excision repair gene RAD1, which encodes one of the subunits of the 5'-repair endonuclease. The uvh1-2 mutant allele carries a glycine-->aspartate amino acid change that has been previously identified to produce a null allele of RAD1 in yeast. Although Arabidopsis homologs of genes involved in nucleotide excision repair are readily identified by searching the genomic database, it has not been established that these homologs are actually required for dark repair in plants. The complementation of the Arabidopsis uvh1 mutation with the Arabidopsis RAD1 homolog clearly demonstrates that the mechanism of nucleotide excision repair is conserved among the plant, animal, and fungal kingdoms.
