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

Maintaining organellar genome integrity is essential for eukaryotic cells, and many factors can threaten genome integrity. R-loops are DNA:RNA duplexes produced during transcription, with the nontemplated DNA forming a single-stranded region. R-loops function in the regulation of transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair, but can also be susceptible to lesions that form double-stranded breaks and thus induce genome instability. From investigating the function of a plant chloroplast-localized R-loop removing enzyme AtRNH1C, we have found that it is responsible for plastid R-loop homeostasis, chloroplast genome instability, and development. Interactome analysis revealed that AtRNH1C associates with multiple chloroplast-localized DNA and RNA metabolism-related proteins, including the core DNA gyrases complex. The interaction between AtRNH1C and AtGyrases was critical for R-loop homeostasis in chloroplast and important to release the transcription-replication conflicts in the highly transcribed and replication originated cp-rDNA regions and thus to reduce the DNA damage. Our results reveal the plastid R-loop accumulation leads to chloroplast DNA instability and provide insight into the maintenance of genome integrity in chloroplasts, in which the evolutionarily conserved RNase H1 and DNA gyrase proteins are involved.
