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

V(D)J recombination-associated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are normally repaired by the high-fidelity classical nonhomologous end-joining (cNHEJ) machinery. Previous studies implicated the recombination-activating gene (RAG)/DNA postcleavage complex (PCC) in regulating pathway choice by preventing access to inappropriate repair mechanisms such as homologous recombination (HR) and alternative NHEJ (aNHEJ). Here, we report that RAG2's "acidic hinge," previously of unknown function, is critical for several key steps. Mutations that reduce the hinge's negative charge destabilize the PCC, disrupt pathway choice, permit repair of RAG-mediated DSBs by the translocation-prone aNHEJ machinery, and reduce genomic stability in developing lymphocytes. Structural predictions and experimental results support our hypothesis that reduced flexibility of the hinge underlies these outcomes. Furthermore, sequence variants present in the human population reduce the hinge's negative charge, permit aNHEJ, and diminish genomic integrity.
