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 (UV) light is a potent mutagenic and genotoxic agent. Whereas DNA damage induced by UV light is known to be responsible for UV-induced genotoxicity, its role in triggering apoptosis is still unclear. We addressed this issue by comparing nucleotide excision repair (NER) deficient 27-1 and 43-3B Chinese hamster (CHO) cells with the corresponding wild-type and ERCC-1 complemented cells. It is shown that NER deficient cells are dramatically hypersensitive to UV-C induced apoptosis, indicating that DNA damage is the major stimulus for the apoptotic response. Apoptosis triggered by UV-C induced DNA damage is related to caspase- and proteosome-dependent degradation of Bcl-2 protein. The expression of other members of the Bcl-2 family such as Bax, Bcl-x(L) and Bak were not affected. Bcl-2 decline is causally involved in UV-C induced apoptosis since overexpression of Bcl-2 protected NER deficient cells against apoptosis. We also demonstrate that caspase-8, caspase-9 and caspase-3 are activated and PARP is cleaved in response to unrepaired UV-C induced DNA damage. Caspase-8 activation occurred independently of CD95 receptor activation since CD95R/FasR and CD95L/FasL were not altered in expression, and transfection of transdominant negative FADD failed to block apoptosis. Overall, the data demonstrate that UV-C induced non-repaired DNA damage triggers apoptosis in NER deficient fibroblasts involving components of the intrinsic mitochondrial damage pathway.
