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

Following eukaryotic genome replication, the ring-shaped cohesin complex embraces the two newly synthesized sister chromatids, enabling their faithful segregation during cell divisions. Replisome passage through cohesin rings has been envisioned as a fail-safe mechanism that ensures co-entrapment of replication products-whether replisomes can indeed pass through cohesin rings remains unknown. Here, we use biochemical reconstitution and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to directly visualize replisome-cohesin encounters. We find that the translocating eukaryotic replicative Cdc45-Mcm2-7-GINS (CMG) helicase, unlike other obstacles of similar size, readily passes through cohesin rings. Fully reconstituted replisomes also pass cohesin rings to leave both replication products trapped inside. Replisome passage is primarily aided by DNA polymerases α and ε, a finding that necessitates re-evaluation of canonical cohesion establishment factor roles. Our findings demonstrate the existence of a simple mechanism that links genome replication with chromosome segregation: replisome passage through cohesin rings.
