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

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) is the process of exchanging regions between two sister chromatids during DNA replication. Exchanges between replicated chromatids and their sisters can be visualized in cells when DNA synthesis in one chromatid is labelled by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU). Homologous recombination (HR) is considered as the principal mechanism responsible for the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) upon replication fork collapse, and therefore SCE frequency upon genotoxic conditions reflects the capacity of HR repair to respond to replication stress. During tumorigenesis, inactivating mutations or altered transcriptome can affect a plethora of epigenetic factors that participate in DNA repair processes, and there are an increasing number of reports which demonstrate a link between epigenetic deregulation in cancer and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). Therefore, the SCE assay can provide valuable information regarding the HR functionality in tumors with epigenetic deficiencies. In this chapter, we provide a method to visualize SCEs. The technique outlined below is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity and has been successfully applied to human bladder cancer cell lines. In this context, this technique could be used to characterize the dynamics of HR repair in tumors with deregulated epigenome.
