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

Previously, we reported that a 61-bp subgenomic HBV DNA sequence (designated as 15AB, nt 1855-1915) is a hot spot for genomic recombination and that a cellular protein binding to 15AB may be the putative recombinogenic protein. In the present study, we established the existence of a 15AB-like sequence in human and rat chromosomal DNA by Southern blot analysis. The 15AB-like sequence isolated from the rat chromosome demonstrated a 80.9% identity with 5'-CCAAGCTGTGCCTTGGGTGGC-3', at 1872-1892 of the hepatitis B virus genome, thought to be the essential region for recombination. Interestingly, this 15AB-like sequence also contained the pentanucleotide motifs GCTGG and CCAGC as an inverted repeat, part of the chi known hot spot for recombination in Escherichia coli. Importantly, a portion of the 15AB-like sequence is homologous (82.1%, 23/28 bp) to break point clusters of the human promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene, characterized by a translocation [t(15;17)], and to rearranged mouse DNA for the immunoglobulin kappa light chain. Moreover, 15AB and 15AB-like sequences have striking homologies (12/15 = 80.0% and 13/15 = 86.7%, respectively) to the consensus sequence for topoisomerase II. Our present results suggest that this 15AB-like sequence in the rat genome might be a recombinogenic candidate triggering genomic instability in carcinogenesis.
