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 E3 ubiquitin ligases RNF8 and RNF168 facilitate recruitment of the DNA damage response protein 53BP1 to sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The mechanism involves recruitment of RNF8, followed by recruitment of RNF168, which ubiquitinates histones H2A/H2AX on K15. 53BP1 then binds to nucleosomes at sites of DNA DSBs by recognizing, in addition to methyl marks, histone H2A/H2AX ubiquitinated on K15. We report here that expressing H2AX fusion proteins with N-terminal bulky moieties can rescue 53BP1 recruitment to sites of DNA DSBs in cells lacking RNF8 or RNF168 or in cells treated with proteasome inhibitors, in which histone ubiquitination at sites of DNA DSBs is compromised. The rescue required S139 at the C-terminus of the H2AX fusion protein and was occasionally accompanied by partial rescue of ubiquitination at sites of DNA DSBs. We conclude that recruitment of 53BP1 to sites of DNA DSBs is possible in the absence of RNF8 or RNF168, but still dependent on chromatin ubiquitination.
