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

Histone post-translational modifications and variants play crucial roles in the adaptability of chromatin structure, facilitating rapid responses necessary for biological processes such as transcription, replication, and DNA damage signaling. Notably, DNA double-strand break (DSB) signaling heavily relies on these histone modifications, with signal amplification and the recruitment of specific DNA repair factors being dictated by them. Among the histones, H2A and its variants are central to this response, with phosphorylation of the variant H2A.X being the initial and most characteristic histone mark deposit upon DNA damage detection. Additional post-translational modifications of H2A and its variants contribute to the selective recruitment of DNA repair factors and influence the choice of DNA repair pathways. This review provides a summary of current knowledge regarding the roles of histone H2A post-translational modifications and variants in DSB signaling and repair, with a particular emphasis on modifications and variants that impact the choice of repair pathways. Additionally, the involvement of histone chaperones, chromatin modifiers, and remodelers in these processes is discussed.
