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

We explored DNA metabolic events potentially relevant to somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulin genes using a yeast model system. Double-strand break (DSB) formation has been discussed as a possible component of the SHM process during immunoglobulin gene maturation. Yet, possible mechanisms linking DSB formation with mutagenesis have not been well understood. In the present study, a linkage between mutagenesis in a reporter gene and a double-strand break at a distal site was examined as a function of activation-induced deaminase (AID) expression. Induction of the DSB was found to be associated with mutagenesis in a genomic marker gene located 7 kb upstream of the break site: mutagenesis was strongest with the combination of AID expression and DSB induction. The mutation spectrum of this DSB and AID-mediated mutagenesis was characteristic of replicative bypass of uracil in one strand and was dependent on expression of DNA polymerase delta (Polδ). These results in a yeast model system illustrate that the combination of DSB induction and AID expression could be associated with mutagenesis observed in SHM. Implications of these findings for SHM of immunoglobulin genes in human B cells are discussed.
