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

Coats plus syndrome is a complex genetic disorder that can be caused by mutations in genes encoding the CTC1-STN1-TEN1 (CST) complex, a conserved single-stranded DNA binding protein complex. Studies have demonstrated that mutations identified in Coats plus patients are defective in telomere maintenance, and concluded that Coats plus may be caused by telomere dysfunction. Recent studies have established that CST also plays an important role in countering replication stress and protecting the stability of genomic fragile sites. However, it is unclear whether instabilities at genomic regions may promote Coats plus development. Here, we characterize eleven reported disease-causing CTC1 missense and small deletion mutations in maintaining genome stability. Our results show that these mutations induce spontaneous chromosome breakage and severe chromosome fragmentation that are further elevated by replication stress, leading to global genome instabilities. These mutations abolish or reduce CST interaction with RAD51, disrupt RAD51 foci formation, and/or diminish binding to GC-rich genomic fragile sites under replication stress. Furthermore, CTC1 mutations limit cell proliferation under unstressed condition and significantly reduce clonal viability under replication stress. Results also suggest that the aa 600-989 region of CTC1 contains a RAD51-interacting domain. Our findings thus provide molecular evidence linking replication-associated genomic defects with CP disease pathology.
