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

Several studies have shown that human topoisomerase I (htopoI) cleaves in the vicinity of various DNA lesions and thereby forms covalent intermediates known as 'cleavage complexes'. Such complexes are detrimental to cells if they are not repaired. Therefore, it is generally accepted that repair pathways must exist for such lesions. We have demonstrated that a htopoI cleavage complex can be recognized by a second topoisomerase I molecule and thereby perform a so-called htopoI 'double cleavage' in vitro. In addition, we found that the double cleavage reaction was stimulated by p53. Here we show that the double cleavage reaction results in the removal of the original htopoI cleavage complex and the generation of a single-stranded gap of approximately 13 nt. This gap supports a sequence-dependent DNA recombination reaction mediated by the second htopoI molecule. Furthermore, we show that p53 strongly stimulates the recombination reaction. We suggest that this reaction may represent a novel p53-dependent topoisomerase I-induced recombination repair (TIRR) pathway for htopoI cleavage complexes.
