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

Genomes of all living organisms are constantly injured by endogenous and exogenous agents that modify the chemical integrity of DNA and in turn challenge its informational content. Despite the efficient action of numerous repair systems that remove lesions in DNA in an error-free manner, some lesions, that escape these repair mechanisms, are present when DNA is being replicated. Although replicative DNA polymerases are usually unable to copy past such lesions, it was recently discovered that cells are equipped with specialized DNA polymerases that will assist the replicative polymerase during the process of Translesion Synthesis (TLS). These TLS polymerases exhibit relaxed fidelity that allows them to copy past lesions in DNA with an inherent risk of generating mutations at high frequency. We present recent aspects related to the genetics and biochemistry of TLS and highlight some of the remaining hot topics of this field.
