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

Cellular responses to DNA damage and inhibited replication are evolutionarily conserved sets of pathways that are critical to preserving genome stability. To identify new participants in these responses, we undertook a screen for regulators that, when present on a high-copy vector, alter expression of a DNA damage-inducible RNR3-lacZ reporter construct in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. From this screen we isolated a plasmid encoding two closely related paralogs, WTM1 and WTM2, that greatly increases constitutive expression of RNR3-lacZ. Moderate overexpression of both genes together, or high-level expression of WTM2 alone from a constitutive promoter, upregulates RNR3-lacZ in the absence of DNA damage. Overexpressed, tagged Wtm2p is associated with the RNR3 promoter, indicating that this effect is likely direct. Further investigation reveals that Wtm2p and Wtm1p, previously described as regulators of meiotic gene expression and transcriptional silencing, amplify transcriptional induction of RNR3 in response to replication stress and modulate expression of genes encoding other RNR subunits.
