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

The ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase is activated in the cellular response to ionizing radiation (IR) and is of importance to the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). The MUC1 oncoprotein is aberrantly overexpressed in human breast carcinomas. The present work demonstrates that the MUC1 C-terminal subunit (MUC1-C) constitutively interacts with ATM in human breast cancer cells. We show that the MUC1-C cytoplasmic domain binds directly to ATM HEAT repeats. Our results also demonstrate that the MUC1-C cytoplasmic domain binds to the ATM substrate H2AX. The functional significance of these interactions is supported by the finding that MUC1-C promotes removal of IR-induced nuclear γH2AX foci. MUC1-C also protects against IR-induced chromosomal aberrations. In concert with these results, MUC1-C blocks IR-induced death by promoting repair of potentially lethal DNA damage. These findings indicate that the overexpression of MUC1 can protect against IR-induced DNA DSBs and may represent a physiologic response that has been exploited by malignant cells.
