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

Replication forks are arrested at specific sequences to facilitate a variety of DNA transactions. Forks also stall at sites of DNA damage, and the regression of stalled forks without rescue can cause genetic instability. Therefore, unraveling the mechanisms of fork arrest and of rescue of stalled forks is of considerable general interest. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, products of two mating-type switching genes, swi1 and swi3, participate in fork arrest at the mating-type switch locus. Here, we show that these proteins also act at three termini (Ter) also called replication fork barriers in the spacer regions of rDNA but not at a fourth site, RFP4, which is nonfunctional when present in a plasmid. Two of the Swi1p- and Swi3p-dependent sites were also dependent on the transcription terminator Reb1p. Furthermore, hydroxyurea-induced replication stress mimicked the effect of swi1 or swi3 mutations at these sites. A swi1 mutant that failed to arrest forks at the mating-type fork barrier RTS1 was functional at the rDNA Ter sites, suggesting some specificity of action. Both WT and mutant forms of Swi1p were physically localized at the Ter sites in vivo. The results support the notion that Swi1p and Swi3p act at several different protein-DNA complexes in the rDNA spacer regions to arrest replication but that not all fork barriers required their activity to arrest forks.
