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

RAG1 and RAG2 play a central role in V(D)J recombination, a process for antigen receptor gene assembly. The truncated 'core' regions of RAGs are sufficient to catalyze the recombination reaction, although with lower joining efficiency than full-length proteins. To investigate the role of the non-core regions of RAGs in the end-joining phase of antigen receptor rearrangement, we analyzed recombination products isolated from core RAG1 and core RAG2 knock-in mice. Here, we report that the truncation of RAGs increases the frequency of aberrant recombination in vivo. Signal joints (SJs) associated with V-to-D recombination of core RAG1 knock-in mice were normal, whereas those of core RAG2 knock-in mice were highly imprecise, containing large deletions and additions, and in some cases coding sequences. In contrast, we found an elevated level of imprecise D-to-J associated SJs for both core RAG1- and RAG2-expressing mice. Likewise, sequences of coding joints (CJs) were also affected by the expression of core RAGs. Finally, sequences found at the junctions of rearranged T-cell receptor loci were highly influenced by differences in rearranging recombination signal sequence pairs. We provide the first evidence that the non-core regions of RAGs have critical functions in the proper assembly and resolution of recombination intermediates in endogenous antigen receptor loci.
