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

In response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), DNA damage repair factors are recruited to DNA lesions and form nuclear foci. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely elusive. Here, by analyzing the localization of DSB repair factors in the XY body and DSB foci, we demonstrate that pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) mediates the recruitment of DSB repair factors around DNA lesions. Pre-rRNA exists in the XY body, a DSB repair hub, during meiotic prophase, and colocalizes with DSB repair factors, such as MDC1, BRCA1 and TopBP1. Moreover, pre-rRNA-associated proteins and RNAs, such as ribosomal protein subunits, RNase MRP and snoRNAs, also localize in the XY body. Similar to those in the XY body, pre-rRNA and ribosomal proteins also localize at DSB foci and associate with DSB repair factors. RNA polymerase I inhibitor treatment that transiently suppresses transcription of rDNA but does not affect global protein translation abolishes foci formation of DSB repair factors as well as DSB repair. The FHA domain and PST repeats of MDC1 recognize pre-rRNA and mediate phase separation of DSB repair factors, which may be the molecular basis for the foci formation of DSB repair factors during DSB response.
