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

Homologous recombination (HR) uses a homologous template to accurately repair DNA double-strand breaks and stalled replication forks to maintain genome stability. During homology search, Rad51 nucleoprotein filaments probe and interact with dsDNA, forming the synaptic complex that is stabilized on a homologous sequence. Strand intertwining leads to the formation of a displacement-loop (D-loop). In yeast, Rad54 is essential for HR in vivo and required for D-loop formation in vitro, but its exact role remains to be fully elucidated. Using electron microscopy to visualize the DNA-protein complexes, here we find that Rad54 is crucial for Rad51-mediated synaptic complex formation and homology search. The Rad54-K341R ATPase-deficient mutant protein promotes formation of synaptic complexes but not D-loops and leads to the accumulation of stable heterologous associations, suggesting that the Rad54 ATPase is involved in preventing non-productive intermediates. We propose that Rad51/Rad54 form a functional unit operating in homology search, synaptic complex and D-loop formation.
