Why Should DNA Topoisomerase I Have a Scaffold Activity?
Review in Biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Since the early 1990s, in vitro studies have demonstrated that DNA topoisomerase I promotes RNA polymerase II transcription, acting as a cofactor, regardless of its catalytic activity. Recent studies, carried in vivo, using yeast as a model system, also demonstrate that DNA topoisomerase I is able to recruit, without the involvement of its catalytic activity, the Sir2p deacetylase on ribosomal genes thus contributes to achieve their silencing. In this review, the DNA topoisomerase I capability, acting as a scaffold protein, as well as its involvement and role in several macromolecular complexes, will be discussed, in light of several observations reported in the literature, pointing out how its role goes far beyond its well-known ability to relax DNA.
