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 genomes of all living organisms are exposed to a wide spectrum of insults. To maintain genomic integrity, eukaryotes have evolved an elaborate surveillance mechanism - DNA damage checkpoint signaling - to detect damaged DNA and to arrest cell cycle progression, allowing time to process and repair DNA damage. TopBP1 plays multiple roles in the regulation of DNA damage checkpoint signaling. However, the molecular mechanism of how TopBP1 regulates ATR-mediated Chk1 phosphorylation is poorly understood. In this communication, we demonstrate (1) that the Chk1 activation domain of TopBP1 is critical in response to several different types of DNA damage; (2) that WD40-repeat protein WDR18 associates with the C-terminus of TopBP1 in vitro and in vivo; (3) that the association between WDR18 and TopBP1 is required for AT70-induced Chk1 phosphorylation; (4) and that WDR18 itself is required for AT70-triggered Chk1 phosphorylation. In addition, WDR18 associates with Chk1 in vitro. The data suggest that WDR18 facilitates ATR-dependent Chk1 phosphorylation via interacting with both C-terminus of TopBP1 and Chk1. Our findings indicate that WDR18 is a bona fide checkpoint protein and that WDR18 works together with TopBP1 to promote DNA damage checkpoint signaling.
