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

Cells experiencing DNA damage undergo a complex response entailing cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair and apoptosis, the relative importance of the three being modulated by the extent of the lesion. The observation that Abl interacts in the nucleus with several proteins involved in different aspects of DNA repair has led to the hypothesis that this kinase is part of the damage-sensing mechanism. However, the mechanistic details underlying the role of Abl in DNA repair remain unclear. Here, I will review the evidence supporting our current understanding of Abl activation following DNA insults, while focusing on the relevance of these mechanisms in protecting DNA-injured germ cells. Early studies have shown that Abl transcripts are highly expressed in the germ line. Abl-deficient mice exhibit multiple abnormalities, increased perinatal mortality and reduced fertility. Recent findings have implicated Abl in a cisplatin-induced signaling pathway eliciting death of immature oocytes. A p53-related protein, TAp63, is an important immediate downstream effector of this pathway. Of note, pharmacological inhibition of Abl protects the ovarian reserve from the toxic effects of cisplatin. This suggests that the extent of Abl catalytic outputs may shift the balance between survival (likely through DNA repair) and activation of a death response. Taken together, these observations are consistent with the evolutionary conserved relationship between DNA damage and activation of the p53 family of transcription factors, while shedding light on the key role of Abl in dictating the fate of germ cells upon genotoxic insults.
