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

Break-induced replication (BIR) is a homologous recombination (HR) pathway that repairs one-ended DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which can result from replication fork collapse, telomere erosion, and other events. Eukaryotic BIR has been mainly investigated in yeast, where it is initiated by invasion of the broken DNA end into a homologous sequence, followed by extensive replication synthesis proceeding to the chromosome end. Multiple recent studies have described BIR in mammalian cells, the properties of which show many similarities to yeast BIR. While HR is considered as "error-free" mechanism, BIR is highly mutagenic and frequently leads to chromosomal rearrangements-genetic instabilities known to promote human disease. In addition, it is now recognized that BIR is highly stimulated by replication stress (RS), including RS constantly present in cancer cells, implicating BIR as a contributor to cancer genesis and progression. Here, we discuss the past and current findings related to the mechanism of BIR, the association of BIR with replication stress, and the destabilizing effects of BIR on the eukaryotic genome. Finally, we consider the potential for exploiting the BIR machinery to develop anti-cancer therapeutics.
