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

Using budding yeast, we show that Arp2/3 actin branching complex has an evolutionarily conserved role in promoting chromosome mobility of double-strand breaks (DSBs). The radius of confinement of a broken chromosome is reduced by inhibiting Arp2/3 or by auxin-induced degron depletion of the nucleation promoting factor Las17WASP or type-1 myosins. Arp2/3 and Las17 are required both to initiate and maintain 5'to 3' resection of DSB ends, whereas depleting Myo3 or Myo5 impairs broken chromosome motion without affecting resection. Conversely, inhibiting Exo1- and Dna2-dependent long-range resection reduces DSB mobility. Inactivating Arp2/3 before DSB induction leads to shortened checkpoint arrest, activating the Tel1ATM/Mre11 (TM) checkpoint. Shortened checkpoint arrest, but not reduced broken chromosome mobility per se, results in reduced interchromosomal homologous recombination. These results suggest that regulating the Arp2/3 complex plays a key role in the processing of DSB ends that is correlated with an increase in DSB mobility and DSB repair.
