The Essential, Ubiquitous Single-Stranded DNA-Binding Proteins.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 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
Maintenance of genomes is fundamental for all living organisms. The diverse processes related to genome maintenance entail the management of various intermediate structures, which may be deleterious if unresolved. The most frequent intermediate structures that result from the melting of the DNA duplex are single-stranded (ss) DNA stretches. These are thermodynamically less stable and can spontaneously fold into secondary structures, which may obstruct a variety of genome processes. In addition, ssDNA is more prone to breaking, which may lead to the formation of deletions or DNA degradation. Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) bind and stabilize ssDNA, preventing the abovementioned deleterious consequences and recruiting the appropriate machinery to resolve that intermediate molecule. They are present in all forms of life and are essential for their viability, with very few exceptions. Here we present an introductory chapter to a volume of the Methods in Molecular Biology dedicated to SSBs, in which we provide a general description of SSBs from various taxa.
