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 coordination of DNA unwinding and synthesis at replication forks promotes efficient and faithful replication of chromosomal DNA. Disruption of the balance between helicase and polymerase activities during replication stress leads to fork progression defects and activation of the Rad53 checkpoint kinase, which is essential for the functional maintenance of stalled replication forks. The mechanism of Rad53-dependent fork stabilization is not known. Using reconstituted budding yeast replisomes, we show that mutational inactivation of the leading strand DNA polymerase, Pol ε, dNTP depletion, and chemical inhibition of DNA polymerases cause excessive DNA unwinding by the replicative DNA helicase, CMG, demonstrating that budding yeast replisomes lack intrinsic mechanisms that control helicase-polymerase coupling at the fork. Importantly, we find that the Rad53 kinase restricts excessive DNA unwinding at replication forks by limiting CMG helicase activity, suggesting a mechanism for fork stabilization by the replication checkpoint.
