Smc5/6's multifaceted DNA binding capacities stabilize branched DNA structures.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Smc5/6 is an evolutionarily conserved SMC complex with roles in DNA replication and repair, as well as in viral DNA restriction. Understanding its multiple functions has been hampered by a lack of mechanistic studies on how the Smc5/6 complex associates with different types of DNA. Here we address this question by simultaneously visualizing the behavior of Smc5/6 on three types of DNA, namely double-stranded (ds) DNA, single-stranded (ss) DNA, and junction DNA formed by juxtaposed ss- and dsDNA, using correlative single-molecule fluorescence and force microscopy. We find that Smc5/6 displays distinct behaviors toward different types of DNA, dynamically associating with dsDNA while stably binding to junction DNA. Mechanistically, both the Nse1-3-4 subcomplex and ATP binding enhance the complex's dsDNA association. In contrast, Smc5/6's assembly onto ssDNA emanating from junction DNA, which occurs even in the presence high-affinity ssDNA binders, is aided by Nse1-3-4, but not by ATP. Moreover, we show that Smc5/6 protects junction DNA stability by preventing ssDNA annealing. The multifaceted DNA association behaviors of Smc5/6 provide a framework for understanding its diverse functions in genome maintenance and viral DNA restriction.
