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

Homologous recombination (HR), considered the highest fidelity DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway that a cell possesses, is capable of repairing multiple DSBs without altering genetic information. However, in "last resort" scenarios, HR can be directed to low fidelity subpathways which often use non-allelic donor templates. Such repair mechanisms are often highly mutagenic and can also yield chromosomal rearrangements and/or deletions. While the choice between HR and its less precise counterpart, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), has received much attention, less is known about how cells manage and prioritize HR subpathways. In this review, we describe work focused on how chromatin and nuclear architecture orchestrate subpathway choice and repair template usage to maintain genome integrity without sacrificing cell survival. Understanding the relationships between nuclear architecture and recombination mechanics will be critical to understand these cellular repair decisions.
