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

The cellular DNA damage response (DDR) is a key factor in tumor suppression and tumor responses to genotoxic chemo- and radiotherapy. Master DDR regulators include three phosphatidyl inositol 3' kinase-related kinases (PIKK) called ATM, ATR, and the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase, DNA-PKcs. Among their many functions, PIKKs regulate repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) by homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ). Ionizing radiation induces DSBs that are either widely dispersed and efficiently repaired, or clustered and poorly repaired by the dominant NHEJ pathway. The inefficient repair of clustered DSBs by NHEJ shifts repair toward the competing HR pathway. In this issue of
