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

Accurate sister chromatid segregation requires remodeling chromosome architecture, decatenation, and attachment to the mitotic spindle. Some of these events are initiated during S-phase, but they accelerate and conclude during mitosis. Here we describe SRBD1 as a histone and nucleic acid binding protein that prevents DNA damage in interphase cells, localizes to nascent DNA during replication and the chromosome scaffold in mitosis, and is required for chromosome segregation. SRBD1 inactivation causes micronuclei, chromatin bridges, and cell death. Inactivating SRBD1 immediately prior to mitotic entry causes anaphase failure, with a reduction in topoisomerase IIα localization to mitotic chromosomes and defects in properly condensing and decatenating chromosomes. In contrast, SRBD1 is not required to complete cell division after chromosomes are condensed. Strikingly, depleting condensin II reduces the severity of the anaphase defects in SRBD1-deficient cells by restoring topoisomerase IIα localization. Thus, SRBD1 is an essential genome maintenance protein required for mitotic chromosome organization and segregation.
