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

DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) covalently join the two strands of a DNA duplex and block essential processes such as DNA replication and transcription. Several important anti-tumor drugs such as cisplatin and nitrogen mustards exert their cytotoxicity by forming ICLs. However, multiple complex pathways repair ICLs and these are thought to contribute to the development of resistance towards ICL-inducing agents. While the understanding of many aspects of ICL repair is still rudimentary, studies in recent years have provided significant insights into the pathways of ICL repair. In this perspective we review the recent advances made in elucidating the mechanisms of ICL repair with a focus on the role of TLS polymerases. We describe the emerging models for how these enzymes contribute to and are regulated in ICL repair, discuss the key open questions and examine the implications for this pathway in anti-cancer therapy.
