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

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) is an established regulator in the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway. Recent work by Allam et al. revealed a mechanism of DSB repair pathway choice through GSK3β-mediated, site-specific phosphorylation of the tumor suppressor p53 binding protein 1 (53BP1) at threonine 334 (T334). 53BP1 T334 phosphorylation prevented interaction between 53BP1 and its downstream functional partners, PTIP and RIF1, thereby inhibiting 53BP1-directed nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Additionally, 53BP1 T334 phosphorylation promoted recruitment of CtIP and RPA32 to DNA damage sites to facilitate homologous recombination (HR). In contrast with loss of 53BP1 function, a 53BP1 T334A phospho-deficient mutant accumulated aberrantly at DSBs, where it impaired end resection and suppressed HR activity. These surprising results suggest that GSK3β may select between NHEJ and HR DNA repair pathways. Additionally, these data support targeting the GSK3β/53BP1 axis to enhance PARP inhibitor efficacy in solid tumors, regardless of BRCA1 status.
