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

Human PARP2/ARTD2 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase which, when activated by 5'-phosphorylated DNA ends, catalyses poly-ADP-ribosylation of itself, other proteins and DNA. In this study, a crystal structure of PARP2 in complex with an activating 5'-phosphorylated DNA shows that the WGR domain bridges the dsDNA gap and joins the DNA ends. This DNA binding results in major conformational changes, including reorganization of helical fragments, in the PARP2 regulatory domain. A comparison of PARP1 and PARP2 crystal structures reveals how binding to a DNA damage site leads to formation of a catalytically competent conformation. In this conformation, PARP2 is capable of binding substrate NAD
