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

Chromosomal translocation (CT) is characterized by incorrect ligation between chromosome fragments when multiple DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) exist simultaneously. DNA repair, the three-dimensional structure of the nucleoskeleton, and the spatial and temporal movement of DSB ends contribute to CTs. Our earlier research showed that Intermediate Filament Family Orphan 1 (IFFO1) links the nucleoskeleton and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) to prevent CTs. In this study, we identified the paralog IFFO2, which, together with IFFO1, forms a complex interaction network. We demonstrate that the C-terminus of these IFFOs binds to XRCC4 to facilitate its participation in the NHEJ process. In contrast, their N-termini oversee the building of the nucleoskeleton by connecting with each other and Lamin A/C. Interestingly, IFFO1 and IFFO2 show epistatic effects in suppressing CT by anchoring broken DNA ends and have non-epistatic roles in NHEJ-mediated DSB repair. Our results define an integrated nucleoskeleton composed of IFFO1-IFFO2-Lamin A/C, and reveal its dual functions in genome stability maintenance, the promotion of end-joining, and the suppression of CT.
