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

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) facilitate the repair of DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs). When PARPs are inhibited, unrepaired SSBs colliding with replication forks give rise to cytotoxic double-strand breaks. These are normally rescued by homologous recombination (HR), but, in cells with suboptimal HR, PARP inhibition leads to genomic instability and cell death, a phenomenon currently exploited in the therapy of ovarian cancers in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. In spite of their promise, resistance to PARP inhibitors (PARPis) has already emerged. In order to identify the possible underlying causes of the resistance, we set out to identify the endogenous source of DNA damage that activates PARPs. We argued that if the toxicity of PARPis is indeed caused by unrepaired SSBs, these breaks must arise spontaneously, because PARPis are used as single agents. We now show that a significant contributor to PARPi toxicity is oxygen metabolism. While BRCA1-depleted or -mutated cells were hypersensitive to the clinically approved PARPi olaparib, its toxicity was significantly attenuated by depletion of OGG1 or MYH DNA glycosylases, as well as by treatment with reactive oxygen species scavengers, growth under hypoxic conditions or chemical OGG1 inhibition. Thus, clinical resistance to PARPi therapy may emerge simply through reduced efficiency of oxidative damage repair.
