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

Topoisomerases play a pivotal role in ensuring DNA metabolisms during replication, transcription and chromosomal segregation. To manage DNA topology, topoisomerases generate break(s) in the DNA backbone by forming transient enzyme-DNA cleavage complexes (TOPcc) with phosphotyrosyl linkages between DNA ends and topoisomerase catalytic tyrosyl residues. Topoisomerases have been identified as the cellular targets of a variety of anti-cancer drugs (e.g. topotecan, irinotecan, etoposide and doxorubicin, and antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin). These drugs, as well as other exogenous and endogenous agents, convert the transient TOPcc into persistent TOPcc, which we refer to as topoisomerase DNA-protein crosslinks (TOP-DPC) that challenge genome integrity and lead to cell death if left unrepaired. Proteolysis of the bulky protein component of TOP-DPC (debulking) is a poorly understood repair process employed across eukaryotes. TOP-DPC proteolysis can be achieved either by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) or by non-proteasomal proteases, which are typified by the metalloprotease SPRTN/WSS1. Debulking of TOP-DPC exposes the phosphotyrosyl bonds, hence enables tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterases (TDP1 and TDP2) to access and cleave the bonds. In this review, we focus on current knowledge of the protease pathways for debulking TOP-DPC and highlighting recent advances in understanding the mechanisms regulating the proteolytic repair pathways. We also discuss the avenues that are being exploited to target the proteolytic repair pathways for improving the clinical outcome of topoisomerase inhibitors.
