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

Cdc7-related kinases play essential roles in the initiation of yeast DNA replication. We show that mice lacking murine homologs of Cdc7 (muCdc7) genes die between E3.5 and E6.5. We have established a mutant embryonic stem (ES) cell line lacking the muCdc7 genes in the presence of a loxP-flanked transgene expressing muCdc7 cDNA. Upon removal of the transgene by Cre recombinase, mutant ES cells cease DNA synthesis, arresting growth with S-phase DNA content, and generate nuclear Rad51 foci, followed by cell death with concomitant increase in p53 protein levels. Inhibition of p53 leads to partial rescue of muCdc7(-/-) ES cells from cell death. muCdc7(-/-)p53(-/-) embryos survive up to E8.5, and their blastocysts generate inner cell mass of a significant size in vitro, whereas those of the muCdc7(-/-)p53(+/-) embryos undergoes complete degeneration. These results demonstrate that, in contrast to cell cycle arrest at the G(1)/S boundary observed in yeasts, loss of Cdc7 in ES cells results in rapid cessation of DNA synthesis within S phase, triggering checkpoint responses leading to recombinational repair and p53-dependent cell death.
