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

backgroundIn response to DNA damage, cells activate checkpoints to halt cell-cycle progression and prevent genomic instability. Checkpoint activation induced by DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) is dependent on the ATM kinase, a master regulator of the DNA damage response (DDR) that is activated through autophosphorylation and monomerization.

resultsHere we show that either protein phosphatase 1 or 2A is sufficient to suppress activation of the DDR and that simultaneous inhibition of both phosphatases fully activates the response. PP1-dependent DDR regulation is mediated by its chromatin-targeting subunit, Repo-Man. Studies in Xenopus egg extracts demonstrate that Repo-Man interacts with ATM and PP1 through distinct domains, leading to PP1-dependent regulation of ATM phosphorylation and activation. Consequently, the level of Repo-Man determines the activation threshold of the DNA damage checkpoint. Repo-Man interacts and extensively colocalizes with ATM in human cells. Expression of wild-type, but not PP1 binding-deficient, Repo-Man attenuates DNA damage-induced ATM activation. Moreover, Repo-Man dissociates from active ATM at DNA damage sites, suggesting that activation of the DDR involves removal of inhibitory regulators. Analysis of primary tumor tissues and cell lines demonstrates that Repo-Man is frequently upregulated in many types of cancers. Elevated Repo-Man expression blunts DDR activation in precancerous cells, whereas knockdown of Repo-Man in malignant cancer cells resensitizes the DDR and restrains growth in soft agar.

conclusionsWe report essential DDR regulation mediated by Repo-Man-PP1 and further delineate underlying mechanisms. Moreover, our evidence suggests that elevated Repo-Man contributes to cancer progression.
