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

Unlike bacteria, mammalian cells need to complete DNA replication before segregating their chromosomes for the maintenance of genome integrity. Thus, cells have evolved efficient pathways to restore stalled and/or collapsed replication forks during S-phase, and when necessary, also to delay cell cycle progression to ensure replication completion. However, strong evidence shows that cells can proceed to mitosis with incompletely replicated DNA when under mild replication stress (RS) conditions. Consequently, the incompletely replicated genomic gaps form, predominantly at common fragile site regions, where the converging fork-like DNA structures accumulate. These branched structures pose a severe threat to the faithful disjunction of chromosomes as they physically interlink the partially duplicated sister chromatids. In this review, we provide an overview discussing how cells respond and deal with the under-replicated DNA structures that escape from the S/G2 surveillance system. We also focus on recent research of a mitotic break-induced replication pathway (also known as mitotic DNA repair synthesis), which has been proposed to operate during prophase in an attempt to finish DNA synthesis at the under-replicated genomic regions. Finally, we discuss recent data on how mild RS may cause chromosome instability and mutations that accelerate cancer genome evolution.
