Chemically induced mutations in a MutaMouse reporter gene inform mechanisms underlying human cancer mutational signatures.
Article in Communications biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
Transgenic rodent (TGR) models use bacterial reporter genes to quantify in vivo mutagenesis. Pairing TGR assays with next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables comprehensive mutation pattern analysis to inform mutational mechanisms. We used this approach to identify 2751 independent lacZ mutations in the bone marrow of MutaMouse animals exposed to four chemical mutagens: benzo[a]pyrene, N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea, procarbazine, and triethylenemelamine. We also collected published data for 706 lacZ mutations from eight additional environmental mutagens. We report that lacZ gene sequencing generates chemical-specific mutation signatures observed in human cancers with established environmental causes. For example, the mutation signature of benzo[a]pyrene, a carcinogen present in tobacco smoke, matched the signature associated with tobacco-induced lung cancers. Our results suggest that the analysis of chemically induced mutations in the lacZ gene shortly after exposure provides an effective approach to characterize human-relevant mechanisms of carcinogenesis and propose novel environmental causes of mutation signatures observed in human cancers.
