Tools To Live By: Bacterial DNA Structures Illuminate Cancer.
Review in Trends in genetics : TIG, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Holliday junctions (HJs) are DNA intermediates in homology-directed DNA repair and replication stalling, but until recently were undetectable in living cells. We review how an engineered protein that traps and labels HJs in Escherichia coli illuminates the biology of DNA and cancer. HJ chromatin immunoprecipitation with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis showed the directionality of double-strand break (DSB) repair in the E. coli genome. Quantification of HJs as fluorescent foci in live cells revealed that the commonest spontaneous problem repaired via HJs is replication-dependent single-stranded DNA gaps, not DSBs. Focus quantification also indicates that RecQ DNA helicase plays dual roles in promoting repair HJs and preventing replication-stall HJs in an E. coli model of RAD51-overexpressing (most) cancers. Moreover, cancer transcriptomes imply that most cancers suffer frequent fork stalls that are reduced by the HJ removers EME1 and GEN1, as well as by the human RecQ orthologs BLM and RECQL4-surprising potential procancer roles for these known cancer-preventing proteins.
