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

Analysis of translocation breakpoints in human B cell malignancies reveals that DNA double-strand breaks at oncogenes most frequently occur at CpG sites located within 20-600 bp fragile zones and depend on activation-induced deaminase (AID). AID requires single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to act, but it has been unclear why or how this region transiently acquires a ssDNA state. Here, we demonstrate the ssDNA state in the 23 bp E2A fragile zone using several methods, including native bisulfite DNA structural analysis in live human pre-B cells. AID deamination within the E2A fragile zone does not require but is increased upon transcription. High C-string density, nascent RNA tails, and direct DNA sequence repeats prolong the ssDNA state of the E2A fragile zone and increase AID deamination at overlapping AID hotspots that contain the CpG sites at which breaks occur in patients. These features provide key insights into lymphoid fragile zones generally.
