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

Exogenous double-strand breaks (DSBs) induce a DNA damage response during mitosis as well as meiosis. The DNA damage response is mediated by a cascade involving Mec1/Tel1 (ATR/ATM) and Rad53 (Chk2) kinases. Meiotic cells are programmed to form DSBs for the initiation of meiotic recombination. In budding yeast, Spo11-mediated meiotic DSBs activate Mec1/Tel1, but not Rad53; however, the mechanism underlying the insensitivity of Rad53 to meiotic DSBs remains largely unknown. In this study, we found that meiotic cells activate Rad53 in response to exogenous DSBs and that this activation is dependent on an epigenetic marker, Dot1-dependent histone H3K79 methylation, which becomes a scaffold of an Rad53 mediator, Rad9, an ortholog of 53BP1. In contrast, Rad9 is insensitive to meiotic programmed DSBs. This insensitiveness of Rad9 derives from its inability to bind to the DSBs. Indeed, artificial tethering of Rad9 to the meiotic DSBs activated Rad53. The artificial activation of Rad53 kinase in meiosis decreases the repair of meiotic DSBs. These results suggest that the suppression of Rad53 activation is a key event in initiating a meiotic program that repairs programmed DSBs.
