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

Human single-stranded DNA-binding protein 1 (hSSB1) is required for the efficient recruitment of the MRN complex to DNA double-strand breaks and is essential for the maintenance of genome integrity. However, the mechanism by which hSSB1 recruits NBS1 remains elusive. Here, we determined that hSSB1 undergoes SUMOylation at both K79 and K94 under normal conditions and that this modification is dramatically enhanced in response to DNA damage. SUMOylation of hSSB1, which is specifically fine-tuned by PIAS2α, and SENP2, not only stabilizes the protein but also enhances the recruitment of NBS1 to DNA damage sites. Cells with defective hSSB1 SUMOylation are sensitive to ionizing radiation, and global inhibition of SUMOylation by either knocking out UBC9 or adding SUMOylation inhibitors significantly enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells to etoposide. Our findings reveal that SUMOylation, as a novel posttranslational modification of hSSB1, is critical for the functions of this protein, indicating that the use of SUMOylation inhibitors (e.g., 2-D08 and ML-792) may be a new strategy that would benefit cancer patients being treated with chemo- or radiotherapy.
