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

Fragile sites are specific loci within the genome that exhibit increased tendencies for chromosome breakage. They are conserved among mammals and are also found in lower eukaryotes including yeast and fly. Many conditions, including mutations and exogenous factors, contribute to fragile site expression, but the nature of interaction among them remains elusive. Here, we investigated this by examining the combined effects of rrm3Δ, mec1 and hydroxyurea (HU), three conditions that induce fragile sites, on expression of the replication slow zone (RSZ), a type of fragile site in budding yeast. Contrary to the expectation that each factor would contribute to fragile site expression in an independent manner, we show that rrm3Δ and high concentrations of HU suppressed RSZ expression in mec1-4ts cells. Further analyses revealed that rrm3Δ suppression occurs via promotion of Sml1 degradation, whereas HU suppresses RSZ via a premature commitment to inviability. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that: (1) the yeast genome contains different types of fragile site with regard to regulation of their expression, and (2) each fragile-site-inducing condition does not act independently, but can elicit a cellular response(s) that can paradoxically prevent the expression of a specific type(s) of fragile sites.
