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

Preventing or delaying progress through the cell cycle in response to DNA damage is crucial for eukaryotic cells to allow the damage to be repaired and not incorporated irrevocably into daughter cells. Several genes involved in this process have been discovered in fission and budding yeast. Here, we report the identification of human and mouse homologs of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe DNA damage checkpoint control gene rad1(+) and its Saccharomyces cerevisiae homolog RAD17. The human gene HRAD1 is located on chromosome 5p13 and is most homologous to S. pombe rad1(+). This gene encodes a 382-amino-acid residue protein that is localized mainly in the nucleus and is expressed at high levels in proliferative tissues. This human gene significantly complements the sensitivity to UV light of a S. pombe strain mutated in rad1(+). Moreover, HRAD1 complements the checkpoint control defect of this strain after UV exposure. In addition to functioning in DNA repair checkpoints, S. cerevisiae RAD17 plays a role during meiosis to prevent progress through prophase I when recombination is interrupted. Consistent with a similar role in mammals, Rad1 protein is abundant in testis, and is associated with both synapsed and unsynapsed chromosomes during meiotic prophase I of spermatogenesis, with a staining pattern distinct from that of the recombination proteins Rad51 and Dmc1. Together, these data imply an important role for hRad1 both in the mitotic DNA damage checkpoint and in meiotic checkpoint mechanisms, and suggest that these events are highly conserved from yeast to humans.
