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

For cells, it is important to repair DNA damage, such as double-strand and single-strand DNA breaks, because unrepaired DNA can compromise genetic integrity, potentially leading to cell death or cancer. Cells have multiple DNA damage repair pathways that have been the subject of detailed genetic, biochemical, and structural studies. Recently, the scientific community has started to gain evidence that the repair of DNA double-strand breaks may occur within biomolecular condensates and that condensates may also contribute to DNA damage through concentrating genotoxic agents used to treat various cancers. Here, we summarize key features of biomolecular condensates and note where they have been implicated in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. We also describe evidence suggesting that condensates may be involved in the repair of other types of DNA damage, including single-strand DNA breaks, nucleotide modifications (e.g., mismatch and oxidized bases), and bulky lesions, among others. Finally, we discuss old and new mysteries that could now be addressed considering the properties of condensates, including chemoresistance mechanisms.
