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 genes encoding Rev1 and DNA polymerase zeta (Rev3/Rev7) are together required for the vast majority of DNA damage-induced mutations in eukaryotes from yeast to humans. Here, we provide insight into the critical role that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rev1 C-terminus plays in the process of mutagenic DNA damage tolerance. The Rev1 C-terminus was previously thought to be poorly conserved and therefore not likely to be important for mediating protein-protein interactions. However, through comprehensive alignments of the Rev1 C-terminus, we have identified novel and hitherto unrecognized conserved motifs that we show play an essential role in REV1-dependent survival and mutagenesis in S. cerevisiae, likely in its post-replicative gap-filling mode. We further show that the minimal C-terminal fragment of Rev1 containing these highly conserved motifs is sufficient to interact with Rev7.
