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 heterodimeric Ku protein (composed of the Ku 86 and Ku 70 sub-units) is a nuclear protein which binds to DNA termini without sequence specificity. Ku is the DNA-targeting component of the large catalytic sub-unit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex that is required for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks in mammalian cells. We studied the expression and function of Ku/DNA-PK during granulocytic differentiation of two human promyelocytic cell lines, HL60 and NB4, a process associated to decreased radiation resistance. After 3 days exposure to differentiating agents (either all-trans-retinoic acid or DMSO), Ku binding to double stranded (ds)-DNA ends declined dramatically whereas Ku protein levels remain unchanged. The nuclear, but not cytoplasmic, fraction of differentiated HL60 cells extracts exhibited a heat-sensitive inhibitory activity towards DNA binding of recombinant Ku heterodimer. We further demonstrate that immunoprecipitation of Ku is impaired in extracts from differentiated cells by using two antibodies that recognize epitopes within the C-terminus DNA binding domains of Ku 70 and Ku 86 proteins. These results favor the hypothesis of a protein interacting with Ku that would prevent DNA binding of heterodimerized Ku protein by steric hindrance.
