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 mammalian genome is constantly challenged by exogenous and endogenous threats. Although much is known about the mechanisms that maintain DNA and RNA integrity, we know surprisingly little about the mechanisms that underpin the pathology and tissue specificity of many disorders caused by defective responses to DNA or RNA damage. Of the different types of endogenous damage, protein-linked DNA breaks (PDBs) are emerging as an important player in cancer development and therapy. PDBs can arise during the abortive activity of DNA topoisomerases, a class of enzymes that modulate DNA topology during several chromosomal transactions, such as gene transcription and DNA replication, recombination and repair. In this Review, we discuss the mechanisms underpinning topoisomerase-induced PDB formation and repair with a focus on their role during gene transcription and the development of tissue-specific cancers.
