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 protein complex including Mre11, Rad50, and Nbs1 (MRN) functions in DNA double-strand break repair to recognize and process DNA ends as well as signal for cell cycle arrest. Amino acid sequence similarity and overall architecture make Rad50 a member of the structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) protein family. Like SMC proteins, Rad50 function depends on ATP binding and hydrolysis. All current evidence indicates that ATP binding and hydrolysis cause architectural rearrangements in SMC protein complexes that are important for their functions in organizing DNA. In the case of the MRN complex, the functional significance of ATP binding and hydrolysis are not yet defined. Here we review the data on the ATP-dependent activities of MRN and their possible mechanistic significance. We present some speculation on the role of ATP for function of the MRN complex based on the similarities and differences in the molecular architecture of the Rad50-containing complexes and the SMC complexes condensin and cohesin.
