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

Chromatin serves as a regulator of various nuclear processes, with post-translational modifications of histone proteins serving as modulators to influence chromatin function. We have previously shown that histone H3 K79 methylation is important for repair of UV-induced DNA damage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, acting through multiple repair pathways. To evaluate the potential role of distinct K79 methylation states in DNA repair, we identified four mutations in histone H3 that confer sensitivity to UV, each of which also has a distinct effect on specific K79 methylation states. Epistasis analyses indicate that each mutation exerts its phenotypic effects through distinct subsets of the various DNA damage response pathways, suggesting the existence of discrete roles for histone H3 in DNA damage checkpoint and repair pathways. Furthermore, we find that the distribution of K79 methylation states is altered by mutation of the acetylatable N terminal lysines in histone H4. The combined results suggest that K79 methylation states may be modulated in response to UV damage via a trans-histone regulatory pathway, and that distinct methylation states may provide a means of coordinating specific DNA repair and damage checkpoint pathways.
