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

In the early stages of carcinogenesis cells confront two key suppressive checkpoints; senescence and telomere crisis. Telomere crisis is characterized by massive chromosomal instability and cell death. The genetic instability initiated during crisis leaves detectable scars on cancer genomes, the full scope of which is only just beginning to be appreciated. In particular, the dramatic genome reshuffling phenomenon chromothripsis has been mechanistically linked to the resolution of DNA bridges formed by dicentric chromosomes, and by the shattering of DNA inside micronuclei. Furthermore, an intriguing connection to innate immune signaling has begun to position telomere crisis as a crucial stage not only in the evolution of the cancer genome, but also in the interaction between the genome and the immune system.
