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 post-replicative mismatch repair (MMR) system has anti-recombination activity that limits interactions between diverged sequences by recognizing mismatches in strand-exchange intermediates. In contrast to their equivalent roles during replication-error repair, mismatch recognition is more important for anti-recombination than subsequent mismatch processing. To obtain insight into this difference, ectopic substrates with 2% sequence divergence were used to examine mitotic recombination outcome (crossover or noncrossover; CO and NCO, respectively) and to infer molecular intermediates formed during double-strand break repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Experiments were performed in an MMR-proficient strain, a strain with compromised mismatch-recognition activity (msh6Δ) and a strain that retained mismatch-recognition activity but was unable to process mismatches (mlh1Δ). While the loss of either mismatch binding or processing elevated the NCO frequency to a similar extent, CO events increased only when mismatch binding was compromised. The molecular features of NCOs, however, were altered in fundamentally different ways depending on whether mismatch binding or processing was eliminated. These data suggest a model in which mismatch recognition reverses strand-exchange intermediates prior to the initiation of end extension, while subsequent mismatch processing that is linked to end extension specifically destroys NCO intermediates that contain conflicting strand-discrimination signals for mismatch removal.
