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

Quiescence is an important non-pathological state in which cells pause cell cycle progression temporarily, sometimes for decades, until they receive appropriate proliferative stimuli. Quiescent cells make up a significant proportion of the body, and maintaining genomic integrity during quiescence is crucial for tissue structure and function. While cells in quiescence are spared from DNA damage associated with DNA replication or mitosis, they are still exposed to various sources of endogenous DNA damage, including those induced by normal transcription and metabolism. As such, it is vital that cells retain their capacity to effectively repair lesions that may occur and return to the cell cycle without losing their cellular properties. Notably, while DNA repair pathways are often found to be downregulated in quiescent cells, emerging evidence suggests the presence of active or differentially regulated repair mechanisms. This review aims to provide a current understanding of DNA repair processes during quiescence in mammalian systems and sheds light on the potential pathological consequences of inefficient or inaccurate repair in quiescent cells.
