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

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and are thought to experience high levels of intrinsic replication stress. Here, by investigating replication fork dynamics in substages of S phase, we show that mammalian pluripotent stem cells maintain a slow fork speed and high active origin density throughout the S phase, with little sign of fork pausing. In contrast, the fork speed of non-pluripotent cells is slow at the beginning of S phase, accompanied by increased fork pausing, but thereafter fork pausing rates decline and fork speed rates accelerate in an ATR-dependent manner. Thus, replication fork dynamics within the S phase are distinct between ES and non-ES cells. Nucleoside addition can accelerate fork speed and reduce origin density. However, this causes miscoordination between the completion of DNA replication and cell cycle progression, leading to genome instability. Our study indicates that fork slowing in the pluripotent stem cells is an integral aspect of DNA replication.
