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

Transcription and replication both utilize DNA as a template. However, even though conflicts between transcription and replication can induce genome instability, recent data have shown that both coexist temporally and spatially. We have now identified that cells employ multiple mechanisms to control transcription activity in S-phase. Our data show that transcription can be regulated by reducing RNA polymerase II loading on genes or by accumulating it on the promoter and preventing its progress into the gene body; moreover, this can occur on all transcribed genes or only on those replicated at that moment, and all these regulations appear controlled by ATR activity. Finally, we found a correlation between the genes most affected in our system and those with altered expression in patients with cancer with deregulated ATR, potentially linking ATR's roles in regulating transcription activity during S-phase to phenotypes found in patients with cancer.
