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

Germline mutations in both BRCA2 and CHEK2 are associated with an increased risk for male breast cancer. To search for potential interactions between the products of these breast cancer susceptibility genes, we undertook systematic mapping of BRCA2 for potential phosphorylation sites by CHEK2. In vitro kinase assays and mass spectrometric analysis identified a 50 amino-acid fragment within the N-terminus of BRCA2 potentially targeted by CHEK2, containing two major phosphopeptides. Inducible overexpression of this peptide, but not a derivative with mutated phosphorylation sites, leads to increased chromosome fragmentation and suppression of cellular proliferation. These results suggest a link between CHEK2 and BRCA2 pathways, which may contribute to the spectrum of cancers associated with germline CHEK2 mutations.
