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 translesion synthesis (TLS) pathway is a double-edged sword in terms of genome integrity. Deficiency in TLS leads to generation of DNA double strand break (DSB) during replication stress, while excessive activation of the TLS pathway increases the risk of point mutation. Here we demonstrate that HSCARG, a cellular redox sensor, directly interacts with the key protein PCNA in the TLS pathway. HSCARG enhances the interaction between PCNA and the deubiquitinase complex USP1/UAF1 and inhibits the monoubiquitination of PCNA, thereby impairing the recruitment of Y-family polymerases and increasing cell sensitivity to stimuli that trigger replication fork blockades. In response to oxidative stress, disaggregation of HSCARG dimers into monomers and the nuclear transport of HSCARG activate the regulatory function of HSCARG in the TLS pathway. Moreover, HSCARG, which is highly expressed in breast carcinoma, promotes the accumulation of DSBs and mutations. HSCARG knockout PyMT transgenic mice exhibit delayed mammary tumorigenesis compared with that in HSCARG wild-type or heterozygous PyMT mice. Taken together, these findings expand our understanding of TLS regulatory mechanisms and establish a link between the cellular redox status and the DNA damage response (DDR).
