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

Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in mammalian cells by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) is initiated by the DNA-PK protein complex. Recent studies have shown inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) is a potent cofactor for DNA-PK activity in NHEJ. Specifically, InsP6 binds to the Ku component of DNA-PK, where it induces a conformational change and a corresponding increase in DNA end-joining activity. However, the effect of InsP6 on the dynamics of Ku, such as its mobility in the nucleus, is unknown. Importantly, these dynamics reflect the character of Ku's interactions with other molecules. To address this question, the diffusion of Ku was measured by fluorescence photobleaching experiments using cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled Ku. InsP6 was depleted by treating cells with calmodulin inhibitors, which included the compounds W7 and chlorpromazine. These treatments caused a 50% reduction in the mobile fraction of Ku-GFP, and this could be reversed by replenishing cells with InsP6. By expressing deletion mutants of Ku-GFP, it was determined that its W7-sensitive region occurred at the N-terminus of the dimerization domain of Ku70. These results therefore show that InsP6 enhances Ku mobility through a discrete region of Ku70, and modulation of InsP6 levels in cells represents a potential avenue for regulating NHEJ by affecting the dynamics of Ku and hence its interaction with other nuclear proteins.
