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.
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
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is required for DNA homologous recombination (HR), but its exact role is unclear. Here, we investigated the loading of PCNA onto a synthetic D-loop (DL) intermediate of HR and the functional interactions of PCNA with Rad51 recombinase and DNA polymerase (Pol) δ, Pol η, and Pol ζ. PCNA was loaded onto the synthetic DL as efficiently as it was loaded onto a primed DNA substrate. Efficient PCNA loading requires Replication Protein A, which is associated with the displaced ssDNA loop and provides a binding site for the clamp-loader Replication Factor C. Loaded PCNA greatly stimulates DNA synthesis by Pol δ within the DL but does not affect primer recognition by Pol δ. This suggests that the essential role of PCNA in HR is not recruitment of Pol δ to the DL but stimulation of Pol δ to displace a DNA strand during DL extension. Both Pol η and Pol ζ extended the DL more efficiently than Pol δ in the absence of PCNA, but little or no stimulation was observed in the presence of PCNA. Finally, Rad51 inhibited both the loading of PCNA onto the DL and the extension of the DL by Pol δ and Pol η. However, preloaded PCNA on the DL counteracts the Rad51-mediated inhibition of the DL extension. This suggests that the inhibition of postinvasion DNA synthesis by Rad51 occurs mostly at the step of PCNA loading.
