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

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a universal cut-and-paste DNA repair mechanism that corrects bulky DNA lesions such as those caused by UV radiation, environmental mutagens, and some chemotherapy drugs. In this review, we focus on the human transcription/DNA repair factor TFIIH, a key player of the NER pathway in eukaryotes. This 10-subunit multiprotein complex notably verifies the presence of a lesion and opens the DNA around the damage via its XPB and XPD subunits, two proteins identified in patients suffering from Xeroderma Pigmentosum syndrome. Isolated as a class II gene transcription factor in the late 1980s, TFIIH is a prototypic molecular machine that plays an essential role in both DNA repair and transcription initiation and harbors a DNA helicase, a DNA translocase, and kinase activity. More recently, TFIIH subunits have been identified as participating in other cellular processes, including chromosome segregation during mitosis, maintenance of mitochondrial DNA integrity, and telomere replication.
