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

Transient halting of transcription activity on the damaged chromatin facilitates DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. However, the molecular mechanisms that facilitate transcription recovery following DSB repair remain largely undefined. Notably, failure to restore gene expression in a timely manner can compromise transcriptome signatures and may impose deleterious impacts on cell identity and cell fate. Here, we report PHF8 as the major demethylase that reverses transcriptionally repressive epigenetic modification laid down by the DYRK1B-EHMT2 pathway. We found that PHF8 concentrates at laser-induced DNA damage tracks in a DYRK1B-dependent manner and promotes timely resolution of local H3K9me2 to facilitate the resumption of transcription. Moreover, PHF8 also assists in the recovery of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription following the repair of nucleolar DSBs. Taken together, our findings uncover PHF8 as a key mediator that coordinates transcription activities during the recovery phase of DSB responses.
