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

Transcription-blocking lesions (TBLs) stall elongating RNA polymerase II (Pol II), which then initiates transcription-coupled repair (TCR) to remove TBLs and allow transcription recovery. In the absence of TCR, eviction of lesion-stalled Pol II is required for alternative pathways to address the damage, but the mechanism is unclear. Using Protein-Associated DNA Damage Sequencing (PADD-seq), this study reveals that the p97-proteasome pathway can evict lesion-stalled Pol II independently of repair. Both TCR and repair-independent eviction require CSA and ubiquitination. However, p97 is dispensable for TCR and Pol II eviction in TCR-proficient cells, highlighting repair's prioritization over repair-independent eviction. Moreover, ubiquitination of RPB1-K1268 is important for both pathways, with USP7's deubiquitinase activity promoting TCR without abolishing repair-independent Pol II release. In summary, this study elucidates the fate of lesion-stalled Pol II, and may shed light on the molecular basis of genetic diseases caused by the defects of TCR genes.
