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

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a potent mycotoxin, is one of the environmental risk factors that cause liver cancer. In the liver, the bioactivated AFB1 intercalates into the DNA double helix to form a bulky DNA adduct which will lead to mutation if left unrepaired. Here, we adapted the tXR-seq method to measure the nucleotide excision repair of AFB1-induced DNA adducts at single-nucleotide resolution on a genome-wide scale, and compared it with repair data obtained from conventional UV-damage XR-seq. Our results showed that transcription-coupled repair plays a major role in the damage removal process. We further analyzed the distribution of nucleotide excision repair sites for AFB1-induced DNA adducts within the 3D human genome organization. Our analysis revealed a heterogeneous AFB1-dG repair across four different organization levels, including chromosome territories, A/B compartments, TADs, and chromatin loops. We found that chromosomes positioned closer to the nuclear center and regions within A compartments have higher levels of nucleotide excision repair. Notably, we observed high repair activity around both TAD boundaries and loop anchors. These findings provide insights into the complex interplay between AFB1-induced DNA damage repair, transcription, and 3D genome organization, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying AFB1-induced mutagenesis.
