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

The dynamic synthesis and removal of poly (ADP-ribose) (pADPr) by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 and poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), respectively, is essential for the maintenance of genome integrity, particularly during DNA replication. However, the precise role of the pADPr-binding chromatin remodeler chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 1-like (CHD1L) in resolving endogenous DNA damage remains unclear. Here, we identified CHD1L as a critical modulator of Okazaki fragment maturation. We demonstrated that CHD1L loss was synthetic lethal with severe inhibition of PARG. This synthetic lethality stemmed from the toxic accumulation of pADPr specifically in S-phase cells, originating from unprocessed Okazaki fragment intermediates. Rescue experiments confirmed that both the ATPase and pADPr-binding macrodomain of CHD1L were indispensable for preventing this toxic accumulation. Mechanistically, quantitative chromatin proteomics revealed that CHD1L deficiency caused the persistent and aberrant retention of single-strand break (SSB) repair factors and others including the E3 ubiquitin ligases RNF114 and DTX3L/PARP9, challenging the previous models that CHD1L loss would limit chromatin accessibility of DNA repair factors. These findings establish a novel housekeeping function for CHD1L in facilitating the efficient turnover of DNA repair factors at replication-associated SSBs.
