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

Mutations in XPB and XPD TFIIH helicases have been related with three hereditary human disorders: xeroderma pigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy. The dual role of TFIIH in DNA repair and transcription makes it difficult to discern which of the mutant TFIIH phenotypes is due to defects in any of these different processes. We used haywire (hay), the Drosophila XPB homolog, to dissect this problem. Our results show that when hay dosage is affected, the fly shows defects in structures that require high levels of transcription. We found a genetic interaction between hay and cdk7, and we propose that some of these phenotypes are due to transcriptional deficiencies. We also found more apoptotic cells in imaginal discs and in the CNS of hay mutant flies than in wild-type flies. Because this abnormal level of apoptosis was not detected in cdk7 flies, this phenotype could be related to defects in DNA repair. In addition the apoptosis induced by p53 Drosophila homolog (Dmp53) is suppressed in heterozygous hay flies.
