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

The structure-specific endonuclease, XPF-ERCC1, plays a central role in DNA damage repair. This nuclease is known to be important for nucleotide excision repair, interstrand crosslink repair, and DNA double-strand repair. We found that the arginine methyltransferase, CARM1/PRMT4, is essential for XPF stabilization and maintenance of intracellular protein levels. Loss of CARM1 results in a decrease in XPF protein levels and a concomitant decrease in ERCC1 protein. A similar destabilization of XPF protein was observed in cells expressing a mutant in which XPF arginine 568 was replaced by lysine. Loss of CARM1 impaired XPF-ERCC1 accumulation at the site of damage and delayed removal of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers by UV. As a result, CARM1-deficient cells showed increased UV sensitivity. Our results provide insight into the importance of CARM1 not only in the mechanism of XPF-ERCC1 complex stabilization but also in the maintenance of genome stability.
