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

Mutations in SF3B1 have been identified across several cancer types. This key spliceosome component promotes the efficient mRNA splicing of thousands of genes including those with crucial roles in the cellular response to DNA damage. Here, we demonstrate that depletion of SF3B1 specifically compromises homologous recombination (HR) and is epistatic with loss of BRCA1. More importantly, the most prevalent cancer-associated mutation in SF3B1, K700E, also affects HR efficiency and as a consequence, increases the cellular sensitivity to ionizing radiation and a variety of chemotherapeutic agents, including PARP inhibitors. In addition, the SF3B1 K700E mutation induced unscheduled R-loop formation, replication fork stalling, increased fork degradation, and defective replication fork restart. Taken together, these data suggest that tumor-associated mutations in SF3B1 induce a BRCA-like cellular phenotype that confers synthetic lethality to DNA-damaging agents and PARP inhibitors, which can be exploited therapeutically. SIGNIFICANCE: The cancer-associated SF3B1K700E mutation induces DNA damage via generation of genotoxic R-loops and stalled replication forks, defective homologous recombination, and increased replication fork degradation, which can be targeted with PARP inhibitors.
