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

Yeast and mammalian genomes are replete with nearly identical copies of long dispersed repeats in the form of retrotransposons. Mechanisms clearly exist to maintain genome structure in the face of potential rearrangement between the dispersed repeats, but the nature of this machinery is poorly understood. Here we describe a series of distinct "retrotransposon overdose" (RO) lineages in which the number of Ty1 elements in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome has been increased by as much as 10 fold. Although these RO strains are remarkably normal in growth rate, they demonstrate an intrinsic supersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. We describe the identification of mutants in the DNA replication pathway that enhance this RO-specific DNA damage supersensitivity by promoting ectopic recombination between Ty1 elements. Abrogation of normal DNA replication leads to rampant genome instability primarily in the form of chromosomal aberrations and confirms the central role of DNA replication accuracy in the stabilization of repetitive DNA.
