The Role of γH2AX in Replication Stress-induced Carcinogenesis: Possible Links and Recent Developments.
Review in Cancer diagnosis & prognosis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
Cancer is a condition characterized by genomic instability and gross chromosomal aberrations. The inability of the cell to timely and efficiently complete its replication cycle before entering mitosis is one of the most common causes of DNA damage and carcinogenesis. Phosphorylation of histone 2AX (H2AX) on S139 (γH2AX) is an indispensable step in the response to DNA damage, as it is required for the assembly of repair factors at the sites of damage. γH2AX is also a marker of DNA replication stress, mainly due to fork collapse that often follows prolonged replication stalling or repair of arrested forks, which involves the generation of DNA breaks. Although the role of γH2AX in the repair of DNA breaks has been well defined, the function of γH2AX in replicative stress remains unclear. In this review, we present the recent advances in the field of replication stress, and highlight a novel function for γH2AX that is independent of its role in the response to DNA damage. We discuss studies that support a role for γΗ2ΑΧ early in the response to replicative stress, which does not involve the repair of DNA breaks. We also highlight recent data proposing that γH2AX acts as a chromatin remodeling component, implicated in the efficient resolution of stalled replication forks. Understanding the mechanism by which γH2AX enables cellular recovery after replication stress will allow identification of novel cancer biomarkers, as well as new targets for cancer therapies.
