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

During DNA replication, the physical and functional coupling of DNA unwinding by the CMG helicase with the DNA synthesis components of the replisome promotes highly efficient replication of the genome. What happens when the replication fork stalls at a DNA lesion? Do translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases operate in close coordination with the replisome or function independent of it; e.g., in daughter strand gaps? Using noncancer human cell lines, Yoon and colleagues (doi:10.1101/gad.353474.125) show that TLS operates in close coordination with the replisome and that ATR stabilizes the replisome at stalled replication forks; thus, TLS protects against chromosomal instability.
