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

Traditional methods for the generation of DNA damage are not well suited for the observation of spatiotemporal aspects of damaged chromosomal loci. We describe a protocol for the derivation of a cellular system to induce and to visualize chromosome damage at specific sites of the mammalian genome in living cells. The system is based on the stable integration of endonuclease I-SceI recognition sites flanked by bacterial LacO/TetO operator arrays, coupled with retroviral-mediated integration of their fluorescent repressors (LacR/TetR) to visualize the LacO/TetO sites. Expression of the I-SceI endonuclease induces double-strand breaks (DSBs) specifically at the sites of integration, and it permits the dynamics of damaged chromatin to be followed by time-lapse microscopy. Sequential LacO-I-SceI/TetO-I-SceI integrations in multiple chromosomes permit the generation of a system to visualize the formation of chromosome translocations in living cells. This protocol requires intermediate cell culture and molecular biology skills, and it is adaptable to the efficient derivation of any integrated clonal reporter system of interest in ≈ 3-5 months.
