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

Zinc finger (ZnF) proteins represent one of the largest families of human proteins, although most remain uncharacterized. Given that numerous ZnF proteins are able to interact with DNA and poly(ADP ribose), there is growing interest in understanding their mechanism of action in the maintenance of genome integrity. We now report that the ZnF protein E4F transcription factor 1 (E4F1) is an actor in DNA repair. Indeed, E4F1 is rapidly recruited, in a poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP)-dependent manner, to DNA breaks and promotes ATR/CHK1 signaling, DNA-end resection, and subsequent homologous recombination. Moreover, we identify E4F1 as a regulator of the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF complex in DNA repair. E4F1 binds to the catalytic subunit BRG1/SMARCA4 and together with PARP-1 mediates its recruitment to DNA lesions. We also report that a proportion of human breast cancers show amplification and overexpression of
