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

DNA double-strand breaks constitute the most dangerous type of DNA damage induced by ionising radiation (IR). Accordingly, the resistance of cells to IR is modulated by three intimately related cellular processes: DNA repair, recombination, and replication. Significant discoveries in this field of research have been made over the last few years. A picture seems to be emerging in which perturbations of recombination in cancer cells are a more widespread cause of genomic instability than previously appreciated. Conversely, such cells may also be more sensitive to certain chemotherapeutic drugs and to IR. Thus, the alterations in recombination that promote carcinogenesis by causing genomic instability may also be the weakness of the tumours that arise in this setting, a concept which could hold great promise for the advancement of cancer treatment in the not too distant future.
