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

The DNA damage response is a protective mechanism that ensures the maintenance of genomic integrity. We have used Aspergillus nidulans as a model system to characterize the DNA damage response caused by the antitopoisomerase I drug, camptothecin. We report the molecular characterization of a p34Cdc2-related gene, npkA, from A. nidulans. The npkA gene is transcriptionally induced by camptothecin and other DNA-damaging agents, and its induction in the presence of camptothecin is dependent on the uvsBATR gene. There were no growth defects, changes in developmental patterns, increased sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, or effects on septation or growth rate in the A. nidulans npkA deletion strain. However, the DeltanpkA mutation can partially suppress HU sensitivity caused by the DeltauvsBATR and uvsD153ATRIP checkpoint mutations. We demonstrated that the A. nidulans uvsBATR gene is involved in DNA replication and the intra-S-phase checkpoints and that the DeltanpkA mutation can suppress its intra-S-phase checkpoint deficiency. There is a defect in both the intra-S-phase and DNA replication checkpoints due to the npkA inactivation when DNA replication is slowed at 6 mm HU. Our results suggest that the npkA gene plays a role in cell cycle progression during S-phase as well as in a DNA damage signal transduction pathway in A. nidulans.
