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

Plants have mechanisms for repairing and tolerating detrimental effects by various DNA damaging agents. A tolerance pathway that has been predicted to be present in higher plants is translesion synthesis (TLS), which is catalyzed by polymerases. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), however, the only gene known to be involved in TLS is the Arabidopsis homolog of REV3, AtREV3, which is a putative catalytic subunit of Arabidopsis DNA polymerase zeta. A disrupted mutant of AtREV3, rev3, was previously found to be highly sensitive to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) and various DNA damaging agents. REV1 and REV7 are thought to be components of translesion synthesis in plants. In this study, we identified the Arabidopsis homologs of REV1 and REV7 (AtREV1 and AtREV7). Several mutants carrying disrupted AtREV1 and AtREV7 genes were isolated from Arabidopsis T-DNA-inserted lines. An AtREV1-disrupted mutant, rev1, was found to be moderately sensitive to UV-B and DNA cross-linkers. A rev1rev3 double mutant, like rev3, showed high sensitivity to UV-B, gamma-rays, and DNA cross-linkers. An AtREV7-disrupted mutant, rev7, was possibly sensitive to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), a kind of DNA cross-linker, but it was not sensitive to acute UV-B and gamma-ray irradiation. On the other hand, the aerial growth of rev7, like the aerial growth of rev1 and rev3, was inhibited by long-term UV-B. These results suggest that a TLS mechanism exists in a higher plant and show that AtREV1 and AtREV7 have important roles in tolerating exposure to DNA-damaging agents.
