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

Tandem inverted repeats (TIRs or hairpins) of 30 and 80 base-pair unit lengths are unstable mitotically in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). TIR instability results from deletions that remove part or all of the presumed hairpin structure from the chromosome. At least one deletion endpoint is always at or near the base of the hairpin, and almost all of the repaired junctions occur within short direct sequence repeats of 4 to 9 base pairs. The frequency of this event, which we call "hairpin excision," is influenced by chromosomal position, length of the inverted repeats, and the distance separating the repeat units; increasing the distance between the inverted repeats as little as 25 base pairs increases their chromosomal stability. The frequency of excision is not affected by representative rad mutations, but is influenced by mutations in certain genes affecting DNA synthesis. In particular, mutations in POL1/CDC17, the gene that encodes the large subunit of DNA polymerase I, increase the frequency of hairpin deletions significantly, implicating this protein in the normal maintainance of genomic TIRs.
