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

Many types of DNA structures are generated in response to DNA damage, repair and recombination that require processing via specialized nucleases. DNA hairpins represent one such class of structures formed during V(D)J recombination, palindrome extrusion, DNA transposition and some types of double-strand breaks. Here we present biochemical and genetic evidence to suggest that Pso2 is a robust DNA hairpin opening nuclease in budding yeast. Pso2 (SNM1A in mammals) belongs to a small group of proteins thought to function predominantly during interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair. In this study, we characterized the nuclease activity of Pso2 toward a variety of DNA substrates. Unexpectedly, Pso2 was found to be an efficient, structure-specific DNA hairpin opening endonuclease. This activity was further shown to be required in vivo for repair of chromosomal breaks harboring closed hairpin ends. These findings provide the first evidence that Pso2 may function outside ICL repair and open the possibility that Pso2 may function at least in part during ICL repair by processing DNA intermediates including DNA hairpins or hairpin-like structures.
