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

During the repair of interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) a DNA double-strand break (DSB) is generated. The Fanconi anemia (FA) core complex, which is recruited to ICLs, promotes high-fidelity repair of this DSB by homologous recombination (HR). However, whether the FA core complex also promotes HR at ICL-independent DSBs, for example induced by ionizing irradiation or nucleases, remains controversial. Here, we identified the FA core complex members FANCL and Ube2T as HR-promoting factors in a CRISPR/Cas9-based screen. Using isogenic cell line models, we further demonstrated an HR-promoting function of FANCL and Ube2T, and of their ubiquitination substrate FANCD2. We show that FANCL and Ube2T localize at DSBs in a FANCM-dependent manner, and are required for the DSB accumulation of FANCD2. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that FANCL ubiquitin ligase activity is required for the accumulation of CtIP at DSBs, thereby promoting end resection and Rad51 loading. Together, these data demonstrate a dual genome maintenance function of the FA core complex and FANCD2 in promoting repair of both ICLs and DSBs.
