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

backgroundThe nucleic acid-binding protein Puralpha is involved at stalled DNA replication forks, in double-strand break (DSB) DNA repair and the cellular response to DNA replication stress. Puralpha interacts with HIV-1 Tat, which regulates homologous recombination-directed DNA repair (HRR). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe investigated Rad51 and HRR regulation in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) from PURA -/- knockout mice that lack Puralpha.

resultsRad51 was induced in PURA -/- MEFs but was repressed when Puralpha was ectopically expressed in these cells. Similarly Rad51 inversely correlated with the level of Puralpha in normal postnatal mouse brain. HIV-1 Tat stimulated HRR DNA repair of I-SceI induced DNA DSBs and the nuclear appearance of Rad51 foci. In contrast, Puralpha suppressed HRR DNA repair, Rad51 expression, and Rad51 foci formation.

conclusionTat stimulates the Rad51 promoter involving both Puralpha-dependent and Puralpha-independent mechanisms. Interaction between Puralpha and Tat may have opposing effects on Rad51 expression. The effects on HRR may contribute to HIV-1 associated pathogenesis.
