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

Mitotic homologous recombination (HR) is a critical pathway for the accurate repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and broken replication forks. While generally error-free, HR can occur between misaligned sequences, resulting in deleterious sequence rearrangements that can contribute to cancer and aging. To learn more about the extent to which HR occurs in different tissues during the aging process, we used Fluorescent Yellow Direct Repeat (FYDR) mice in which an HR event in a transgene yields a fluorescent phenotype. Here, we show tissue-specific differences in the accumulation of recombinant cells with age. Unlike pancreas, which shows a dramatic 23-fold increase in recombinant cell frequency with age, skin shows no increase in vivo. In vitro studies indicate that juvenile and aged primary fibroblasts are similarly able to undergo HR in response to endogenous and exogenous DNA damage. Therefore, the lack of recombinant cell accumulation in the skin is most likely not due to an inability to undergo de novo HR events. We propose that tissue-specific differences in the accumulation of recombinant cells with age result from differences in the ability of recombinant cells to persist and clonally expand within tissues.
