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 opposing strands, blocking both replication and transcription, therefore making ICL-inducing compounds highly toxic and ideal anti-cancer agents. While incisions surrounding the ICL are required to remove damaged DNA, it is currently unclear which endonucleases are needed for this key event. SNM1A has been shown to play an important function in human ICL repair, however its suggested role has been limited to exonuclease activity and not strand incision. Here we show that SNM1A has endonuclease activity, having the ability to cleave DNA structures that arise during the initiation of ICL repair. In particular, this endonuclease activity cleaves single-stranded DNA. Given that unpaired DNA regions occur 5' to an ICL, these findings suggest SNM1A may act as either an endonuclease and/or exonuclease during ICL repair. This finding is significant as it expands the potential role of SNM1A in ICL repair.
