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 genome of plants, like that of other eukaryotes, is organized into chromatin, a compact structure that reduces the accessibility of DNA to machineries such as transcription, replication, and DNA recombination and repair. Plant genes, which contain the characteristic ATPase/helicase motifs of the chromatin remodeling Swi2/Snf2 family of proteins, have been thoroughly studied, but their role in homologous recombination or DNA repair has received limited attention. We have searched for homologs of the yeast RAD54 gene, whose role in recombination and repair and in chromatin remodeling is well established. Forty Arabidopsis SWI2/SNF2 genes were identified and the function of a selected group of 14 was analyzed. Mutant analysis and/or RNAi-mediated silencing showed that 11 of the 14 genes tested played a role in response to DNA damage. Two of the 14 genes were involved in homologous recombination between inverted repeats. The putative ortholog of RAD54 and close homologs of ERCC6/RAD26 were involved in DNA damage response, suggesting functional conservation across kingdoms. In addition, genes known for their role in development, such as PICKLE/GYMNOS and PIE1, or in silencing, such as DDM1, turned out to also be involved in DNA damage response. A comparison of ddm1 and met1 mutants suggests that DNA damage response is affected essentially by chromatin structure and that cytosine methylation is less critical. These results emphasize the broad involvement of the SWI2/SNF2 family, and thus of chromatin remodeling, in genome maintenance and the link between epigenetic and genetic processes.
