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

Hypermutation in immunoglobulin genes produces a high frequency of substitutions of all four bases, which are likely generated by low-fidelity DNA polymerases. Indeed, humans deficient for DNA polymerase (pol) eta have decreased substitutions of A.T base pairs in variable and switch regions. To study the role of pol eta in a genetically tractable system, we created mice lacking pol eta. B cells from Polh-/- mice produced normal amounts of IgG, indicating that pol eta does not affect class switch recombination. Similar to their human counterparts, variable and switch regions from Polh-/- mice had fewer substitutions of A.T base pairs and correspondingly more mutations of C.G base pairs, which firmly establishes a central role for pol eta in hypermutation. Notably, the location and types of substitutions differ markedly from those in Msh6-/- clones, which also have fewer A.T mutations. The data suggest that pol eta preferentially synthesizes a repair patch on the nontranscribed strand, whereas MSH6 functions to generate the patch.
