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 MRE11-RAD50-NBS1/Xrs2 (MRN/X) protein complex acts as a first responder in DNA double-strand break repair and telomere-length maintenance, yet the structural architecture of the yeast ortholog Xrs2 has remained unresolved. In this study, we present the first structure of the folded N-terminal region of Xrs2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, resolved at 2.38 Å using X-ray crystallography. Like the previously determined crystal structures of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Nbs1, the folded structure of S. cerevisiae Xrs2 adopts an extended three-domain organization at its N-terminus. Electrostatic analysis reveals two distinct charged patches: a positively charged patch on the FHA domain and a negatively charged patch in the cleft between the FHA and BRCT1 domains. This charge segregation is likely to play a role in mediating interactions with various ligands.
