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

Chromatin ubiquitylation flanking DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), mediated by RNF8 and RNF168 ubiquitin ligases, orchestrates a two-branch pathway, recruiting repair factors 53BP1 or the RAP80-BRCA1 complex. We report that human demethylase JMJD1C regulates the RAP80-BRCA1 branch of this DNA-damage response (DDR) pathway. JMJD1C was stabilized by interaction with RNF8, was recruited to DSBs, and was required for local ubiquitylations and recruitment of RAP80-BRCA1 but not 53BP1. JMJD1C bound to RNF8 and MDC1, and demethylated MDC1 at Lys45, thereby promoting MDC1-RNF8 interaction, RNF8-dependent MDC1 ubiquitylation and recruitment of RAP80-BRCA1 to polyubiquitylated MDC1. Furthermore, JMJD1C restricted formation of RAD51 repair foci, and JMJD1C depletion caused resistance to ionizing radiation and PARP inhibitors, phenotypes relevant to aberrant loss of JMJD1C in subsets of breast carcinomas. These findings identify JMJD1C as a DDR component, with implications for genome-integrity maintenance, tumorigenesis and cancer treatment.
