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

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are common genome lesions that threaten genome stability and cell survival. Cells use sophisticated repair machineries to detect and heal DSBs. To study DSB repair pathways and associated factors, inducible site-specific endonucleases have proven to be fundamental tools. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, galactose-inducible rare-cutting endonucleases are commonly used to create a single DSB at a unique cleavage site. Galactose induction requires cell cultivation in suboptimal growth media, which is tedious especially when working with slow growing DSB repair mutants. Moreover, endonucleases that simultaneously create DSBs in multiple defined and unique loci of the yeast genome are not available, hindering studies of DSB repair in different genomic regions and chromatin contexts. Here, we present new tools to overcome these limitations. We employ a heterologous media-independent induction system to express the yeast HO endonuclease or bacterial restriction enzymes for single or multiple DSB formation, respectively. The systems facilitate tightly controlled and efficient DSB formation at defined genomic sites and will be valuable tools to study DSB repair at a local and genome-wide scale.
