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 serine/threonine protein kinase CHK1 has been reported to bind to the recombinase RAD51 and facilitates its assembly in DNA damage sites via phosphorylation. However, the role of RAD51 in regulating the expression of CHK1 has never been explored. Here, we show that RAD51 is highly upregulated in esophageal squamous tumor tissues and its DMC1 domain significantly promotes cell growth of esophageal cancer (EC) cells through CHK1. To gain the mechanistic insights, firstly, in the presence of 3-methyladenine (3MA), an autophagy inhibitor, we found that the reduction of CHK1 and the inhibition of cell growth in RAD51-deficient EC109 cells were strikingly restored. Subsequently, the autophagy-related experiments revealed that RAD51 negatively participated in autophagy. Moreover, results from in vitro clonogenic survival assays showed that RAD51 depletion greatly enabled EC cells to resist the autophagy inhibitors 3MA and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatments. Above all, our studies firstly highlight a direct role of RAD51 in autophagy process and characterize its functional domain in cell growth regulation. Moreover, our data firstly shed insights into the possible application of autophagy inhibitors in treating RAD51 overexpressed EC patients.
