TREX2 deficiency suppresses spontaneous and genotoxin-associated mutagenesis.
Article in Cell reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
TREX2, a 3'-5' exonuclease, is a part of the DNA damage tolerance (DDT) pathway that stabilizes replication forks (RFs) by ubiquitinating PCNA along with the ubiquitin E3 ligase RAD18 and other DDT factors. Mismatch repair (MMR) corrects DNA polymerase errors, including base mismatches and slippage. Here we demonstrate that TREX2 deletion reduces mutations in cells upon exposure to genotoxins, including those that cause base lesions and DNA polymerase slippage. Importantly, we show that TREX2 generates most of the spontaneous mutations in MMR-mutant cells derived from mice and people. TREX2-induced mutagenesis is dependent on the nuclease and DNA-binding attributes of TREX2. RAD18 deletion also reduces spontaneous mutations in MMR-mutant cells, albeit to a lesser degree. Inactivation of both MMR and TREX2 additively increases RF stalls, while it decreases DNA breaks, consistent with a synthetic phenotype.
