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

DNA damage reshapes the cellular transcriptome by modulating RNA transcription and processing. In cancer cells, these changes can alter the expression of genes in the immune surveillance and cell death pathways. Here, we investigate how DNA damage impacts alternative polyadenylation (APA) using the PAPERCLIP technique. We find that APA shifts are a coordinated response for hundreds of genes to DNA damage, and we identify PCF11 as an important contributor of DNA damage-induced APA shifts. One of these APA shifts results in upregulation of the full-length MSL1 mRNA isoform, which protects cells from DNA damage-induced apoptosis and promotes cell survival from DNA-damaging agents. Importantly, blocking MSL1 upregulation enhances cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents even in the absence of p53 and overcomes chemoresistance. Our study demonstrates that characterizing adaptive APA shifts to DNA damage has therapeutic implications and reveals a link between PCF11, the MSL complex, and DNA damage-induced apoptosis.
