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

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of tumor suppressor genes in somatic cells is a major process leading to several types of cancer; however, its underlying molecular mechanism is still poorly understood. In the present work, we demonstrate that a linear DNA molecule bridging two homologous chromosomes in diploid yeast cells via homologous recombination produce LOH-generating regions of hemizygosity by deletion. The result is a near-reciprocal translocation mutant that is characterized by slight cell cycle defects and increased expression of the multidrug-resistant gene VMR1. When the distance between target regions is approximately 40 kb, the specificity of gene targeting becomes less stringent and an ensemble of gross chromosomal rearrangements arises. These heterogeneous genomic events, together with the low frequency of specific translocation, confirm that several pathways contribute to the healing of a broken chromosome and suggest that uncontrolled recombination between parental homologs is actively avoided by the cell. Moreover, this work demonstrates that the common laboratory practice of making targeted gene deletions may result in a low, but not negligible, frequency of LOH due to the recombination events triggered between homologous chromosomes in mitosis.
