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

Translocations arise when an end of one chromosome break is mistakenly joined to an end from a different chromosome break. Since translocations can lead to developmental disease and cancer, it is important to understand the mechanisms leading to these chromosome rearrangements. We review how characteristics of the sources and the cellular responses to chromosome breaks contribute to the accumulation of multiple chromosome breaks at the same moment in time. We also discuss the important role for chromosome break location; how translocation potential is impacted by the location of chromosome breaks both within chromatin and within the nucleus, as well as the effect of altered mobility of chromosome breaks. A common theme in work addressing both temporal and spatial contributions to translocation is that there is no shortage of examples of factors that promote translocation in one context, but have no impact or the opposite impact in another. Accordingly, a clear message for future work on translocation mechanism is that unlike normal DNA metabolic pathways, it isn't easily modeled as a simple, linear pathway that is uniformly followed regardless of differing cellular contexts.
