Elucidating Recombination Mediator Function Using Biophysical Tools.
Review in Biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The recombination mediator proteins (RMPs) are ubiquitous and play a crucial role in genome stability. RMPs facilitate the loading of recombinases like RecA onto single-stranded (ss) DNA coated by single-strand binding proteins like SSB. Despite sharing a common function, RMPs are the products of a convergent evolution and differ in (1) structure, (2) interaction partners and (3) molecular mechanisms. The RMP function is usually realized by a single protein in bacteriophages and eukaryotes, respectively UvsY or Orf, and RAD52 or BRCA2, while in bacteria three proteins RecF, RecO and RecR act cooperatively to displace SSB and load RecA onto a ssDNA region. Proteins working alongside to the RMPs in homologous recombination and DNA repair notably belongs to the RAD52 epistasis group in eukaryote and the RecF epistasis group in bacteria. Although RMPs have been studied for several decades, molecular mechanisms at the single-cell level are still not fully understood. Here, we summarize the current knowledge acquired on RMPs and review the crucial role of biophysical tools to investigate molecular mechanisms at the single-cell level in the physiological context.
