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

Elucidating the dynamics of DNA repair proteins is essential to understanding the mechanisms that preserve genomic stability and prevent carcinogenesis. However, the measurement and modeling of protein dynamics at DNA lesions via currently available image analysis tools is cumbersome. Therefore, we developed CellTool-a stand-alone open-source software with a graphical user interface for the analysis of time-lapse microscopy images. It combines data management, image processing, mathematical modeling, and graphical presentation of data in a single package. Multiple image filters, segmentation, and particle tracking algorithms, combined with direct visualization of the obtained results, make CellTool an ideal application for the comprehensive analysis of DNA repair protein dynamics. This software enables the fitting of obtained kinetic data to predefined or custom mathematical models. Importantly, CellTool provides a platform for easy implementation of custom image analysis packages written in a variety of programing languages. Using CellTool, we demonstrate that the ALKB homolog 2 (ALKBH2) demethylase is excluded from DNA damage sites despite recruitment of its putative interaction partner proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Further, CellTool facilitates the straightforward fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) analysis of BRCA1 associated RING domain 1 (BARD1) exchange at complex DNA lesions. In summary, the software presented herein enables the time-efficient analysis of a wide range of time-lapse microscopy experiments through a user-friendly interface.
