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

UV irradiation, a known carcinogen, induces the formation of dipyrimidine dimers with the predominant lesions being cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone adducts (6-4PPs). The relative roles of the yeast translesion synthesis DNA polymerases Pol zeta and Pol eta in UV survival and mutagenesis were examined using strains deficient in one or both polymerases. In addition, photoreactivation was used to specifically remove CPDs, thus allowing an estimate to be made of the relative contributions of CPDs vs. 6-4PPs to overall survival and mutagenesis. In terms of UV-induced mutagenesis, we focused on the +1 frameshift mutations detected by reversion of the lys2deltaA746 allele, as Pol zeta produces a distinct mutational signature in this assay. Results suggest that CPDs are responsible for most of the UV-associated toxicity as well as for the majority of UV-induced frameshift mutations in yeast. Although the presence of Pol eta generally suppresses UV-induced mutagenesis, our data suggest a role for this polymerase in generating some classes of +1 frameshifts. Finally, the examination of frameshift reversion spectra indicates a hierarchy between Pol eta and Pol zeta with respect to the bypass of UV-induced lesions.
