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

Maintenance of genome integrity is paramount to molecular programs in multicellular organisms. Throughout the lifespan, various endogenous and environmental factors pose persistent threats to the genome, which can result in DNA damage. Understanding the functional consequences of DNA damage requires investigating their preferred genomic distributions and influences on gene regulatory programs. However, such analysis is hindered by both the complex cell-type compositions within organs and the high background levels due to the stochasticity of damage formation. To address these challenges, we developed Paired-Damage-seq for joint analysis of oxidative and single-stranded DNA damage with gene expression in single cells. We applied this approach to cultured HeLa cells and the mouse brain as a proof of concept. Our results indicated the associations between damage formation and epigenetic changes. The distribution of oxidative DNA damage hotspots exhibits cell-type-specific patterns; this selective genome vulnerability, in turn, can predict cell types and dysregulated molecular programs that contribute to disease risks.
