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

Homologous recombination facilitates accurate repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle by using intact sister chromatids as sequence templates. Homologous recombination capacity is maximized in S and G2 by cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) phosphorylation of CtIP, which subsequently interacts with BRCA1 and the Mre11-Rad50-NBS1 (MRN) complex. Here we show that, in human and mouse, Mre11 controls these events through a direct interaction with CDK2 that is required for CtIP phosphorylation and BRCA1 interaction in normally dividing cells. CDK2 binds the C terminus of Mre11, which is absent in an inherited allele causing ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder. This newly uncovered role for Mre11 does not require ATM activation or nuclease activities. Therefore, functions of MRN are not restricted to DNA damage responses but include regulating homologous recombination capacity during the normal mammalian cell cycle.
