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

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes a plethora of DNA lesions. It is performed by a large multisubunit protein complex that finds and repairs damaged DNA in different chromatin contexts and nuclear domains. The nucleolus is the most transcriptionally active domain, and in yeast, transcription-coupled NER occurs in RNA polymerase I-transcribed genes (rDNA). Here we have analyzed the roles of two members of the xeroderma pigmentosum group C family of proteins, Rad4p and Rad34p, during NER in the active and inactive rDNA. We report that Rad4p is essential for repair in the intergenic spacer, the inactive rDNA coding region, and for strand-specific repair at the transcription initiation site, whereas Rad34p is not. Rad34p is necessary for transcription-coupled NER that starts about 40 nucleotides downstream of the transcription initiation site of the active rDNA, whereas Rad4p is not. Thus, although Rad4p and Rad34p share sequence homology, their roles in NER in the rDNA locus are almost entirely distinct and complementary. These results provide evidences that transcription-coupled NER and global genome NER participate in the removal of UV-induced DNA lesions from the transcribed strand of active rDNA. Furthermore, nonnucleosome rDNA is repaired faster than nucleosome rDNA, indicating that an open chromatin structure facilitates NER in vivo.
