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

In mammalian cells, perturbations in DNA replication result in chromosome breaks in regions termed "fragile sites." Using DNA microarrays, we mapped recombination events and chromosome rearrangements induced by reduced levels of the replicative DNA polymerase-α in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that the recombination events were nonrandomly associated with a number of structural/sequence motifs that correlate with paused DNA replication forks, including replication-termination sites (TER sites) and binding sites for the helicase Rrm3p. The pattern of gene-conversion events associated with cross-overs suggests that most of the DNA lesions that initiate recombination between homologs are double-stranded DNA breaks induced during S or G2 of the cell cycle, in contrast to spontaneous recombination events that are initiated by double-stranded DNA breaks formed prior to replication. Low levels of DNA polymerase-α also induced very high rates of aneuploidy, as well as chromosome deletions and duplications. Most of the deletions and duplications had Ty retrotransposons at their breakpoints.
