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

Loss of cytosolic actin filaments upon TORC2 inhibition triggers chromosome fragmentation in yeast, which results from altered base excision repair of Zeocin-induced lesions. To find the link between TORC2 kinase and this yeast chromosome shattering (YCS) we performed phosphoproteomics. YCS-relevant phospho-targets included plasma membrane-associated regulators of actin polymerization, such as Las17, the yeast Wiscott-Aldrich Syndrome protein. Induced degradation of Las17 was sufficient to trigger YCS in presence of Zeocin, bypassing TORC2 inhibition. In yeast, Las17 does not act directly at damage, but instead its loss, like TORC2 inhibition, raises nuclear actin levels. Nuclear actin, in complex with Arp4, forms an essential subunit of several nucleosome remodeler complexes, including INO80C, which facilitates DNA polymerase elongation. Here we show that the genetic ablation of INO80C activity leads to partial YCS resistance, suggesting that elevated levels of nuclear G-actin may stimulate INO80C to increase DNA polymerase processivity and convert single-strand lesions into double-strand breaks.
