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 nuclear pore complex (NPC) is embedded in the nuclear envelope where it mediates transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus and helps to organize nuclear architecture. We previously isolated sonB1, a mutation encoding a single amino acid substitution within the Aspergillus nidulans SONBnNup98 NPC protein (nucleoporin). Here we demonstrate that this mutation causes marked DNA damage sensitivity at 42 degrees . Although SONBnNup98 has roles in the G2 transition, we demonstrate that the G2 DNA damage checkpoint is functional in the sonB1 mutant at 42 degrees . The MRN complex is composed of MRE11, RAD50, and NBS1 and functions in checkpoint signaling, DNA repair, and telomere maintenance. At 42 degrees we find that the DNA damage response defect of sonB1 mutants causes synthetic lethality when combined with mutations in scaANBS1, the A. nidulans homolog of NBS1. We provide evidence that this synthetic lethality is independent of MRN cell cycle checkpoint functions or MREAMRE11-mediated DNA repair functions. We also demonstrate that the single A. nidulans histone H2A gene contains the C-terminal SQE motif of histone H2AX isoforms and that this motif is required for the DNA damage response. We propose that the sonB1 nucleoporin mutation causes a defect in a novel part of the DNA damage response.
