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

Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (CDT1) is an essential protein for DNA replication licensing, which loads the mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) complex onto replication origins. We previously reported that excess CDT1 inhibits the elongation of nascent strands during DNA replication in Xenopus egg extracts. In the present study, we investigated the underlying mechanism through which CDT1 inhibits replication fork progression by expressing various CDT1 mutants in human cells. Initiation of DNA replication resulted in downregulation of CDT1, preventing MCM reloading within the same cell cycle; thus, CDT1 overexpression induces rereplication. In this study, we observed that overexpression of a mutant CDT1 lacking licensing activity induced cell cycle arrest at the S phase in human cells. An additional mutation in the MCM-binding domain reduced this cell cycle inhibitory effect. Furthermore, overexpression of CDT1 induced DNA damage independent of its licensing activity. These results suggest that CDT1 overexpression inhibits the progression of replication forks by interacting with the MCM complex, leading to the stalling and collapse of replication forks.
