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

A rapid DNA damage response (DDR) and efficient DNA repair are essential for maintaining genome integrity. As a central apical kinase, ATM phosphorylates multiple downstream substrates to initiate DDR signaling and coordinate DNA repair following double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying ATM activation remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify the RNA-binding protein RALY as a critical regulator of ATM activation. We show that RALY directly interacts with and stabilizes the acetyltransferase Tip60, a key activator of ATM. Mechanistically, RALY competes with Tip60 for binding to the E3 ubiquitin ligase Mdm2, thereby inhibiting Mdm2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of Tip60. Functionally, inhibition of RALY impairs ATM activation, compromises DNA repair capacity, and enhances radiosensitivity of cancer cells in a Tip60-dependent manner. Our findings uncover a previously unrecognized role of RALY in regulating ATM activation and indicate RALY as a potential therapeutic target for enhancing radiosensitivity in cancer.
