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

Only ∼10% of replication origins that are licensed by loading minichromosome maintenance 2-7 (MCM2-7) complexes are normally used, with the majority remaining dormant. If replication fork progression is inhibited, nearby dormant origins initiate to ensure that all of the chromosomal DNA is replicated. At the same time, DNA damage-response kinases are activated, which preferentially suppress the assembly of new replication factories. This diverts initiation events away from completely new areas of the genome toward regions experiencing replicative stress. Mice hypomorphic for MCM2-7, which activate fewer dormant origins in response to replication inhibition, are cancer-prone and are genetically unstable. The licensing checkpoint delays entry into S phase if an insufficient number of origins have been licensed. In contrast, humans with Meier-Gorlin syndrome have mutations in pre-RC proteins and show defects in cell proliferation that may be a consequence of chronic activation of the licensing checkpoint.
