Efficient UV stimulation of yeast integrative transformation requires damage on both plasmid strands.

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.
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
The nature of UV-induced pre-recombinational structures was studied using transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells with non-replicative plasmids. Transformation by double-stranded plasmids irradiated with UV was stimulated up to 50-fold, and both plasmid integration and conversion of the mutated chromosomal selective gene were found to be equally increased. The stimulation observed with such 'totally' irradiated plasmids was not found with plasmids bearing lesions in only one strand. This effect is attributed to the formation by excision repair of recombinogenic structures consisting of a pyrimidine dimer opposite a gap. When single-stranded integrative plasmids were irradiated, their transforming potential was decreased but the proportion of transformants that arose by gene conversion, rather than by plasmid integration, was increased from 8% to 49% as a function of the UV dose. Possible reasons why single-strand UV lesions favour gene conversion are discussed.
