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

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major pathway to remove pyrimidine dimers (PDs), a class of DNA lesions generated by ultraviolet light. Since folding of DNA into nucleosomes restricts its accessibility and since transcription and DNA repair require access to DNA, nucleosome structure and positioning as well as the transcriptional state may affect DNA repair. We recently determined the chromatin structure of the yeast URA3 gene at high resolution and found multiple positions of nucleosomes as well as strand- and site-specific variation in DNA accessibility to DNase I (internal protected regions). Here, the same high-resolution primer extension technique was used to investigate NER of PDs in the URA3 gene of a mini-chromosome in vivo. In the non-transcribed strand (NTS), fast repair correlates with PD locations in linker DNA and towards the 5' end of a positioned nucleosome. Slow repair correlates with the internal protected region of the nucleosome. This repair heterogeneity reflects a modulation of NER by positioned nucleosomes in the NTS. NER in the transcribed strand (TS) is fast, less heterogeneous and shows no correlation with chromatin structure. Apparently, transcription-coupled repair overrides chromatin modulation of NER in the TS. Heterogeneity in NER generated by chromatin structure on the NTS may contribute to heterogeneity in mutagenesis.
