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

Single-strand breaks (SSB) are discontinuities in one strand of the DNA double helix and are the most common type of damages that arise in cells. SSBs arise mainly from direct attack by intracellular metabolites, however, also essential nuclear processes generate SSBs as intermediates. During the catalytic cycle of DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) a SSB is generated, which is normally transient and rapidly resealed by the enzyme. However, several situations can stabilize a Top1-generated SSB, and this poses the risk of converting the SSB into a double strand break (DSB) if encountered by the replication machinery. A DSB is a more serious treat for cells as it can fuel chromosomal rearrangements and thus jeopardize genome stability and cause cells to become cancerous. In this perspective, we discuss the cellular consequences of Top1-generated damage during DNA replication with focus on the differences between endogenous Top1-generated damage and Top1 damage generated due to the use of the drug camptothecin.
