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

backgroundReplication stress (RS) gives rise to DNA damage that threatens genome stability. RS can originate from different sources that stall replication by diverse mechanisms. However, the mechanism underlying how different types of RS contribute to genome instability is unclear, in part due to the poor understanding of the distribution and characteristics of damage sites induced by different RS mechanisms.

resultsWe use ChIP-seq to map γH2AX binding sites genome-wide caused by aphidicolin (APH), hydroxyurea (HU), and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) treatments in human lymphocyte cells. Mapping of γH2AX ChIP-seq reveals that APH, HU, and MMS treatments induce non-random γH2AX chromatin binding at discrete regions, suggesting that there are γH2AX binding hotspots in the genome. Characterization of the distribution and sequence/epigenetic features of γH2AX binding sites reveals that the three treatments induce γH2AX binding at largely non-overlapping regions, suggesting that RS may cause damage at specific genomic loci in a manner dependent on the fork stalling mechanism. Nonetheless, γH2AX binding sites induced by the three treatments share common features including compact chromatin, coinciding with larger-than-average genes, and depletion of CpG islands and transcription start sites. Moreover, we observe significant enrichment of SINEs in γH2AX sites in all treatments, indicating that SINEs may be a common barrier for replication polymerases.

conclusionsOur results identify the location and common features of genome instability hotspots induced by different types of RS, and help in deciphering the mechanisms underlying RS-induced genetic diseases and carcinogenesis.
