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

Genome stability in fission yeast requires the conserved S-phase kinase Hsk1 (Cdc7) and its partner Dfp1 (Dbf4). In addition to their established function in the initiation of DNA replication, we show that these proteins are important in maintaining genome integrity later in S phase and G2. hsk1 cells suffer increased rates of mitotic recombination and require recombination proteins for survival. Both hsk1 and dfp1 mutants are acutely sensitive to alkylation damage yet defective in induced mutagenesis. Hsk1 and Dfp1 are associated with the chromatin even after S phase, and normal response to MMS damage correlates with the maintenance of intact Dfp1 on chromatin. A screen for MMS-sensitive mutants identified a novel truncation allele, rad35 (dfp1-(1-519)), as well as alleles of other damage-associated genes. Although Hsk1-Dfp1 functions with the Swi1-Swi3 fork protection complex, it also acts independently of the FPC to promote DNA repair. We conclude that Hsk1-Dfp1 kinase functions post-initiation to maintain replication fork stability, an activity potentially mediated by the C terminus of Dfp1.
