Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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 eukaryotic single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein Replication Protein A (RPA) plays a crucial role in various DNA metabolic pathways, including DNA replication and repair, by dynamically associating with ssDNA. While the binding of a single RPA molecule to ssDNA has been thoroughly studied, the accessibility of ssDNA is largely governed by the bimolecular behavior of RPA, the biophysical nature of which remains unclear. In this study, we develop a three-step low-complexity ssDNA Curtains method, which, when combined with biochemical assays and a Markov chain model in non-equilibrium physics, allow us to decipher the dynamics of multiple RPA binding to long ssDNA. Interestingly, our results suggest that Rad52, the mediator protein, can modulate the ssDNA accessibility of Rad51, which is nucleated on RPA coated ssDNA through dynamic ssDNA exposure between neighboring RPA molecules. We find that this process is controlled by the shifting between the protection mode and action mode of RPA ssDNA binding, where tighter RPA spacing and lower ssDNA accessibility are favored under RPA protection mode, which can be facilitated by the Rfa2 WH domain and inhibited by Rad52 RPA interaction.
