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

Transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is constantly challenged by numerous types of obstacles that lead to transcriptional pausing or stalling. These obstacles include DNA lesions, DNA epigenetic modifications, DNA binding proteins, and non-B form DNA structures. In particular, lesion-induced prolonged transcriptional blockage or stalling leads to genome instability, cellular dysfunction, and cell death. Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway is the first line of defense that detects and repairs these transcription-blocking DNA lesions. In this review, we will first summarize the recent research progress toward understanding the molecular basis of transcriptional pausing and stalling by different kinds of obstacles. We will then discuss new insights into Pol II-mediated lesion recognition and the roles of CSB in TC-NER.
