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 list of factors that participate in the DNA damage response to maintain genomic stability has expanded significantly to include a role for proteins involved in RNA processing. Here, we provide evidence that the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma (FUS) is a novel component of the DNA damage response. We demonstrate that FUS is rapidly recruited to sites of laser-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in a manner that requires poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymerase activity, but is independent of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase function. FUS recruitment is mediated by the arginine/glycine-rich domains, which interact directly with PAR. In addition, we identify a role for the prion-like domain in promoting accumulation of FUS at sites of DNA damage. Finally, depletion of FUS diminished DSB repair through both homologous recombination and nonhomologous end-joining, implicating FUS as an upstream participant in both pathways. These results identify FUS as a new factor in the immediate response to DSBs that functions downstream of PAR polymerase to preserve genomic integrity.
