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

By extending synthesis opposite from a diverse array of DNA lesions, DNA polymerase (Pol) ζ performs a crucial role in translesion synthesis (TLS). In yeast and cancer cells, Rev1 functions as an indispensable scaffolding component of Polζ and it imposes highly error-prone TLS upon Polζ. However, for TLS that occurs during replication in normal human cells, Rev1 functions instead as a scaffolding component of Pols η, ι, and κ and Rev1-dependent TLS by these Pols operates in a predominantly error-free manner. The lack of Rev1 requirement for Polζ function in TLS in normal cells suggested that some other protein substitutes for this Rev1 role. Here, we identify a novel role of Polλ as an indispensable scaffolding component of Polζ. TLS studies opposite a number of DNA lesions support the conclusion that as an integral component, Polλ adapts Polζ-dependent TLS to operate in a predominantly error-free manner in human cells, essential for genome integrity and cellular homeostasis.
