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 processing of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) into 3' single-stranded tails is the first step of homology-dependent DSB repair. A key player in this process is the highly conserved eukaryotic exonuclease 1 (EXO1), yet its precise mechanism of action has not been rigorously determined. To address this issue, we reconstituted 5'-strand resection in cytosol derived from unfertilized interphase eggs of the frog Xenopus laevis. Xenopus EXO1 (xEXO1) was found to display strong 5'→3' dsDNA exonuclease activity but no significant ssDNA exonuclease activity. Depletion of xEXO1 caused significant inhibition of 5' strand resection. Co-depletion of xEXO1 and Xenopus DNA2 (xDNA2) showed that these two nucleases act in parallel pathways and by distinct mechanisms. While xDNA2 acts on ssDNA unwound mainly by the Xenopus Werner syndrome protein (xWRN), xEXO1 acts directly on dsDNA. Furthermore, xEXO1 and xWRN are required for both the initiation stage and the extension stage of resection. These results reveal important novel information on the mechanism of 5'-strand resection in eukaryotes.
