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

Resolution of sister chromatid intertwines in mitosis is vital for safeguarding genome integrity. While cohesin, condensin, the polo-like kinase Cdc5, and the phosphatase Cdc14 have all been implicated in this process, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Our study unveils a coordination between spindle elongation and the timely resolution of DNA linkages, orchestrated by Cdc14 and Cdc5. We show that Cdc14 and Cdc5 collaborate to facilitate the resolution of DNA catenanes, the predominant species of DNA intertwines in mitosis, by regulating Topoisomerase II (Top2) function, both through SUMOylation and phosphorylation. Our findings contribute to unraveling a mechanism wherein Cdc5 and Cdc14 work together to ensure the timely removal of all sources of linkages between sister chromatids, thereby preserving the integrity of chromosome segregation and genome stability.
