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 tumor suppressor protein BRCA1 plays an important role in DNA repair by homologous recombination. Despite being encoded by the first familial breast and ovarian cancer gene identified, how BRCA1 is recruited to sites of DNA damage to execute its repair functions has remained poorly understood. Several recent studies highlight the role of its constitutive interaction partner BARD1 in this process. In this issue, parallel work by Sherker et al (2021) focused on a second route of BRCA1 recruitment, connected to the BRCA1-A complex protein RAP80. Studying BRCA1 recruitment in RAP80-deficient cells exposed a critical role for the BRCA1 RING domain and its associated ubiquitin ligase activity. Given that tumors expressing RING-less BRCA1 isoforms can become resistant to therapy, targeting the RAP80 recruitment axis in such tumors might restore effective treatment.
