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

Somatic hypermutation of Ig genes is initiated by transcription-coupled cytidine deamination in Ig loci. Error-prone processing of the resultant DNA lesions is thought to cause extensive mutagenesis, but it is presently an enigma how and why error-prone rather than error-free repair pathways are recruited. During DNA replication, recruitment of error-prone translesion polymerases may be mediated by Rad6/Rad18-mediated ubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, a major switchboard controlling the fidelity of DNA lesion bypass in eukaryotes. By inactivation of Rad18 in the DT40 B cell line, we show that the Rad6 pathway is involved in somatic hypermutation in these cells. Our findings imply that targeted recruitment of mutagenic polymerases by the Rad6 pathway contributes to the complex process of somatic hypermutation and provide a framework for more detailed mechanistic studies of the mutagenesis phase of secondary Ig diversification.
