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

We visualized DNA topoisomerases in A431 cells and isolated chromosomes by isoenzyme-selective immunofluorescence microscopy. In interphase, topoisomerase I mainly had a homogeneous nuclear distribution. 10-15% of the cells exhibited granular patterns, 30% showed bright intranucleolar patches. Topoisomerase II isoenzymes showed spotted (alpha) or reticular (beta) nuclear patterns throughout interphase. In contrast to topoisomerase IIalpha, topoisomerase IIbeta was completely excluded from nucleoli. In mitosis, topoisomerase IIbeta diffused completely into the cytosol, whereas topoisomerases I and IIalpha remained chromosome bound. Chromosomal staining of topoisomerase I was homogeneous, whereas topoisomerase IIalpha accumulated in the long axes of the chromosome arms and in the centriols. Topoisomerase antigens were 2-3-fold higher in mitosis than in interphase, but specific activities of topoisomerase I and II were reduced 5- and 2.4-fold, respectively. These changes were associated with mitotic enzyme hyperphosphorylation. In interphase, topoisomerases could be completely linked to DNA by etoposide or camptothecin, whereas in mitosis, 50% of topoisomerase IIalpha escaped poisoning. Refractoriness to etoposide could be assigned to the salt-stable scaffold fraction of topoisomerase IIalpha, which increased from <2% in G1 phase to 48% in mitosis. Topoisomerases I and IIbeta remained completely extractable throughout the cell cycle. In summary, expression of topoisomerases increases towards mitosis, but specific activities decrease. Topoisomerase IIbeta is released from the heterochromatin, whereas topoisomerase I and IIalpha remain chromosome bound. Scaffold-associated topoisomerase IIalpha appears not to be involved in catalytic DNA turnover, though it may play a role in the replicational cycle of centriols, where it accumulates during M phase.
