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

Bleomycin (BLM) is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug. BLM-treated cells showed an elevated rate of mutations, but the underlying mechanisms remained unclear. In this study, the global genomic alterations in BLM-treated cells were explored in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using genetic assay and whole-genome sequencing, we found that the mutation rate could be greatly elevated in S. cerevisiae cells that underwent Zeocin (a BLM member) treatment. One-base deletion and T-to-G substitution at the 5'-GT-3' motif represented the most striking signature of Zeocin-induced mutations. This was mainly the result of translesion DNA synthesis involving Rev1 and polymerase ζ. Zeocin treatment led to the frequent loss of heterozygosity and chromosomal rearrangements in the diploid strains. The breakpoints of recombination events were significantly associated with certain chromosomal elements. Lastly, we identified multiple genomic alterations that contributed to BLM resistance in the Zeocin-treated mutants. Overall, this study provides new insights into the genotoxicity and evolutional effects of BLM.
