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

An R-loop is a structure that forms when an RNA transcript stays bound to the DNA strand that encodes it and leaves the complementary strand exposed as a loop of single stranded DNA. R-loops accumulate when the processing of RNA transcripts is impaired. The failure to remove these RNA-DNA hybrids can lead to replication fork stalling and genome instability. Resolution of R-loops is thought to be mediated mainly by RNase H enzymes through the removal and degradation of the RNA in the hybrid. However, DNA helicases can also dismantle R-loops by displacing the bound RNA. In particular, the Pif1 family DNA helicases have been shown to regulate R-loop formation at specific genomic loci, such as tRNA genes and centromeres. Here we review the roles of Pif1 family helicases in vivo and in vitro and discuss evidence that Pif1 family helicases act on RNA-DNA hybrids and highlight their potential roles in complementing RNase H for R-loop resolution.
