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) at ribosomal gene loci trigger inhibition of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription and extensive nucleolar reorganization, including the formation of nucleolar caps where rDNA DSBs engage with canonical DSB signaling and repair factors. While these nucleolar responses underlie maintenance of rDNA stability, the molecular components that drive each of these events remain to be defined. Here we report that full suppression of rRNA synthesis requires the DYRK1B kinase, a nucleolar DSB response that can be uncoupled from ATM-mediated DSB signaling events at the nucleolar periphery. Indeed, by targeting DSBs onto rDNA arrays, we uncovered that chemical inhibition or genetic inactivation of DYRK1B led to sustained nucleolar transcription. Not only does DYRK1B exhibit robust nucleolar accumulation following laser micro-irradiation across cell nuclei, we further showed that DYRK1B is required for rDNA DSB repair and rDNA copy number maintenance, and that DYRK1B-inactivated cells are hypersensitised to DSBs induced at the rDNA arrays. Together, our findings not only identify DYRK1B as a key signaling intermediate that coordinates DSB repair and rDNA transcriptional activities, but also support the idea of specialised DSB responses that operate within the nucleolus to preserve rDNA integrity.
